The Monthly Report - May 2012 Edition

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,520]

May's traffic report is here! Here's a link to April's.

 

The attacks on us continued through roughly the first week or two of May, which resulted in a fair deal of lost traffic. Those stopped, however, and we moved to an incredibly fast dedicated server soon afterwards to quicken our loading times. Rainbow Dash would be proud.

 

May also marks the month that MLP Forums officially became older than me! Boy, my little baby sure grew up fast.

I r productive. Hats off to the forums.

[NewCalamity 3,454]

Honestly. There's really no stopping us. Keep up the good work, makes me very happy to see such global dedication to the site.

[Abstract 831]

Proud to be one of those new 757. I'll do what I can to help keep this place going, it's such a wonderful and supporting site. MLP Fourms Forever!

Oh that'll happen by the end of the year no doubt, at this rate at least.

[Evilshy 5,089]

Yes, yes, I already knew that. Anything new to tell us?

 

EDIT: sorrry, I was tired.

We'll get a centry no time, at this rate. Maybe i'll just get 1200 different computers and just leave them on this site for the next month.

3.87 years for a month O_O

 

We did 4+ years last month. Stupid DDoS attacks.

That would be a colossal waste of electricity, would it not? I'd be much prouder of a century's worth of legitimate user activity.

So we go with plan B, assimilate the entire world's population into the herd?

 

Also, 19.87 years in ~ 8 months?

That's impressive, well done Feld for making such a successful site.

woah 0.o the time was mostly me i bet XD

[Nas 2,863]

Yep, yet another over-the-top successful month checked off for the forums. My first full month too, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't one of the best, freindliest, awesomest, and most fun experiences I've had on the internet.

 

Seriously, getting along with the great people of the forums was easy and fast, and it just never ends. The annoying DDoS attacks kinda bogged the process up a bit if anything, but I'm glad we were able to count on reliable services to get them back up and the progress train back up and running. I can't say enough about how I have enjoyed my experiences on this place so far, and there's much more yet to come! With an always-supportive amount of generous donors, super-high amounts of activity happening each day, who's to say that this isn't an active place, among one of the best and biggest MLP:FiM community websites of the entire Internet?

 

I'm just excited to live through a whole month of fun, milestones, and an overall great time.

[DJ Cadence 58]

OH MY GLOB!!!! I'm sure that we will approve more! Thanks for showing us Feld0! BTW LONG LIVE THE PONYS AND EQUESTRIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightfall 3,950]

Woah.

Epic stats, bro.

[Scritches 91]

AND LONG LIVE MLPFORUMS.

 

May we live forever.

 

And may we long have a reason to live forever. Edited June 12, 2012 by Leatherneck
