Well the forum is two months old today. I remember when I started this forum I thought it would be good if we had 100 members in two months time, we now have 240 and to date there's been 4,176 posts.
Something that has surprised me is how many members are readers and not posters. Maybe that's just the way with forums?
Havings said that we get an average of 210 visits per day.
A few interesting stats for the month of October, the site had:
A special well done must go to Dazza for organising the WA Overnight run. Six pages of responses that's bloody good in anyone's language. I'm sure it will be a great event.
I'd like to thank all the members that visit the site regularly and promote it's continuing success!
I'm sure the site will only get bigger and better in the coming months. Keep the posts coming!
Cheers, Kinchops
Well done mate. I can only see it getting bigger and better.
Mr Chops
You forgot Darwin in your stat. No matter how pissy they are!!
Everyone always forgets Darwin!!! Maaaaaaaaate!!
Anyway congrats and a mighty fine effort and we can only get bigger and better. On On
Magilla, Sorry dude there weren't any stats for Darwin. The only other two were Kwinana: 46 and Cairns: 28.
Be assured if it shows up on the top 10 I'll definately put it in next mont's post. Cheers, KC

Yeah in Kakadu 250k's away. You could say we're a suburb of Darwin
Thanks Mega.
Yes I think it's a common thing for people to lurk on forums. I rekon a lot of people benefit from the information and discussions that go on here even though they don't post.
alchemist,
Good stuff on the hilux site, it looks good. The 10 gig of dowloads would mainly be pics, this site hosts it's own pics and I've set a 300k limit per image so it doesn't take long with that many people reading posts to chew up 10 gig. Would be interested to know what methods you used to promote your Hilux site, I've been using Google Adwords but I'm getting pretty much to the end of my budget for it?
Cool. Heavy Duty has said that they will post my letter to them in the upcoming mag so that will be good. I initially let people advertise for free but I've recently started charging now that the site is getting more popular.
Well Done Chops Keep up the good work.
Another way of looking at the successfulness of this forum is.. Now people who have never met before are now starting to get together for rides ect.
Getting to make new friends,learning more about bike issues,techniques and from what I have seen so far no animosity towards anyone.
The common thread here is the enjoyment of a ride and I guess the company of like minded people.
Lets hope we can learn/teach/advise each other and have non of the useless crap that seems to creep into other forums and groups I have seen
Congrats Chops, your doing a bloody good job.
I'm also quite willing to donate should the need arise.

Chops,
As the others have said, Thanks for creating this site.
O.S. site's are good but sometimes our Aussie wit and humor doesn't go over that well
Keep up the good work and I wil be sure to pass on the website address.
I was a member on another bike board and they had some business cards made up and sent them out members so they could pass it on when they came across other bike riders...( it worked very well and is not very expensive )
Cheers
Paul.

First let me congratulate you for a great site. I found out about it from other member and I already passed it to my 4 mates.
Secondly I'd like to respond to the person who said that there is no animosity on this sit - GREAT, keep it that way. I am a migrant who arrived here 21 years ago. I love this country and would not live anywhere else. My passion is four wheel driving, fishing and now my Harley.
I love to ride and I'd like to learn more. I hope that this site will help me to achieve that.
I am living my dream!!!!
