BBCentral just gave me some of the stats for NIH! I am simply amazed. :shock: - that's me.

I see some of you (don't know who) linked me to their LJs. Thanks a lot for that! Whoever they were, they got us the most hits! (in the HUNDREDS from LJS!)

And get this!! When people search for "The Mighty Boosh" or "Lano and Woodley"... this forum comes up! That's SO COOL!! :lol: (okay, so it's not even in the first 30 pages, but still. 51 times apparently, someone searching Boosh has found this link. And 7 times for Lano and Woodley)

Still no evidence that it comes up when people type in something about writing or art though, which is slightly disappointing. But i suppose it would be so far down the list anyway, that people wouldn't have seen it.



In August - 261,660 hits

In September - 367,714 hits

October- 382,553 hits

About 3500 visitors each month

That's an average of about 100 unique visitors each day!


"Since you moved to my server you've had just over a million hits

And about 9000 visitors"



Are you amazed? I'm amazed.

[skyscape]

:O that IS amazing. Very very cool. And if it's coming up in searches for boosh and lano and woodley then we should get a steady stream of quality people :D

[melydia]

I'll confess to being one of the people who linked NIH on their LiveJournal. But that's also how I get here so at least a few of those linkages is from me (I use my LJ as a starting point for a lot of my surfing, actually).

[vindemiatrix]

I linked it from my LJ too, but nobody visits my LJ apart from possibly Elski and Aquamonet. Still, wow. We're popular! *grin*

[Tundra]

I'm pretty sure it was a combination of LJs. :D Nice work.

[Gholam]

Nice going, they are some good solid statistics there.

Hmm I might have to make use of the links in the LJ options one of these days. :)

[Aimless]

So I don't have to stop pressing F5 every 10 secs then? :)

'Grats Tundra!!

[Thren]

Wow, that is fantastic!! Congrats!! Booshtastic, hehee :D

[snooze]

Ohhhhh so that's what F5 does...
heh...*hits F5 repeatedly*
Yay for NiH!

[Tundra]

More Stats! For this month- wednesdays are our biggest days. (weird)
December 8th was our most popular day this month!

Um... now THIS is disturbing... here are our search keywords for this month.

notebookinhand 4 33.3 %
notebookinhand.com 2 16.6 %
natureofhumanity 1 8.3 %
notebookinhand forum 1 8.3 %
hand notebook 1 8.3 %
nude sketching 1 8.3 %
comurshals 1 8.3 %
nude people wed 1 8.3 %

hahaha... i'm not sure which is more disturbing, that two people clicked on NiH looking for nude art and nude weddings, or, that someone spelt 'commercials' as 'comurshals' and found *US* with that!!
No lano and woodley or boosh searches this month lol.

[melydia]

These statistics are great. I wonder if natureofhumanity knows of their fame.

[snooze]

Nice! *scurries to link to her LJ* I got a comm or two on there, so we might get more folks in from there.

[Tundra]

highlight search words from last month (in my opinion!)
One person clicked on NiH looking for "Naboo's Miracle Wax" and another one for "I am the Moon Boosh" :D Two Mighty Boosh terms!

[wannabe_writer]

oooooooo how exciting!!! :D
Tundra, do you have another website thats freewebs.com/notebookinhand? I found a link to it
?

[Tundra]

yep, that was my original site, I don't update it anymore.

[Tundra]

:shock:

[vindemiatrix]

And they're all posting members, too. Hell, I'd say they were all regulars.

GO NIH!

[aanimo]

Me probably the least regular of all :P But hey!

Super -- which reminds me to go put a link to this place on my blog :)

[LadyAbby]

I will probably be forever pissed that I missed the boat on being on with everyone else. Normally I am! But, I decided to actually sleep. SO PISSED

[Elski]

Woah, that's an impressive users online list! 0.o

[snooze]

Well damn. The one day I sign off so I can stay up late watching Heath Ledger ponce it up in an embroided satin jacket.



P.S. Haha! \/\/\/

*sigh* "Ooooone is the lonliest nuuuumberrrr..."

[Maulden]

Strange. I may be wrong about this, but I think that there was very little posting at that time, despite the fact that there were 14 people online. :?

[Sulis]

:cry: I couldn't be online then due to stupid cable company having service issues. Everyone in the city with my ISP lost cable and broadband service. I live in INDIANAPOLIS! The city's large enough that widespread outages like that should not happen that easily. I missed it!

[Tundra]

awww... well, it's not as if it were planned and deliberate. So, hopefully it can happen another time!
Once, I tried to make a day where everyone would try and get on nih for as long as possible, to see if we could beat the record... didn't work.

[Ariella]

WE BEAT THE RECORD.

On June 5th, 33 people were online at once!

[Tundra]

Did anyone take a screenshot? If it was mainly guests, it was probably a glitch.

[pkgirl]

WE BEAT THE RECORD.

On June 5th, 33 people were online at once!

Dammit, i would have loved a screenshot!!! :( why didnt anyone think of that then???

[vindemiatrix]

Do we even have 33 regulars?

[Tundra]

Not really no. So, that's why i think that unless someone actually SAW 33 members online, then, it'd be a glitch to do with guests. that happens sometimes.

[Elski]

It's weird to think we have almost three hundred members, but there aren't enough of them active that we're willing to belive 33 could have been online at once.

[Maulden]

I also find it a little strange that only 12 of those have more than 1,000 posts... >_>

[Tundra]

^ that's an improvement on what it was.
Actually, our numbers aren't bad at all, for a forum. Most forums have this sort of participation rate.

[pkgirl]

yeh i agree, a lot o forums that i have visited... NOT being a member, have only a few members regularly active.

[Tundra]

hmn. I checked. We do have over 33 people who COULD be online all at once. But, i just doubt that they all were the other day that's all. There could have been a lot of people online, and then glitchy guests as well.
I'd love to be able to PLAN everyone trying to be on at once. I tried that once. Didn't work.

[Elski]

Did you? Why didn't it work?

[Tundra]

this was ages ago, but, since everyone is in different timezones, i made it so that it was a 'try to be logged into the forums for as long as possible on such and such a day'. They'd come online, see that no one else was online, and leave again, not realising that everyone was doing that, and if they'd just stay, then other people wouldn't do that...

[Elski]

Ah, I see. I think if you had to do it you'd have to sort it out by timezones... ie people in whatever have to be on form such-and-such to such-and-such, people in this other zone have ot be on form such-and-such to such-and-such, etc, etc.

[Tundra]

but, people will be like 'oh sorry, i'm busy that day' or they'll forget or whatever. It's really really hard to actually organise.

[Elski]

True enough... oh, well. It's a nice idea.

[Tundra]

I'd like to try it another time. But it'll need us to be organised, and people to 'commit'. Ie, if they possibly can, stay online and on the forum (not even necessarily looking at it) for as long as possible, rather than just going 'oh it's not going that well, it doesn't matter if i leave'. Like, if they really can't do it for whatever reason, t hat's a different matter lol.
anyway i won't be planning that until exam times are over.

[Elski]

Yeah. Definatly not untill exams are over. *online for the first time in a weekish*

[Tundra]

so... next week? :P

[Elski]

Sounds good to me. ^_^

[Maulden]

Though an exact time would help. :wink:

[pkgirl]

There are now 14 people over 1000

[Maulden]

Yeah, and it's only a matter of time before 2,000 is the new 1,000. :wink:

...anyways! At least we're a lively bunch! :mrgreen:

[Ariella]

HAHAHA. Oh, Maulden, you make me LAUGH. Took me over a year just to get to 1000, it's gonna take prob'ly at least that long for 2k.

[Elski]

I've picked up my posting pace recently. Partially because I finally got over my 'what will they think if I say something stupid?' worries. On NiH? They'd say, oh look, another post just like all the others... ^_^ That's why we have so much fun. And partially beause, well, there's more to reply to these days. Mostly I blame Maulden for that.

Still, it's taken me a year to get this far. My pace hasn't picked up *that* much...

[Maulden]

Mostly I blame Maulden for that.

You're welcome. :mrgreen:

[Tundra]

Some of our searchwords (things people type into google to find us) fairly recently, in order of number of hits resulting:

charity writing ninjas
the note book in hand
various versions of our url
some live journal searchings
Vogonic
House Fanfiction
"You clone them and make super lemons!"
saskatchewan sky pirates

eragon lemons {ahahahahaha}

[Maulden]

eragon lemons {ahahahahaha}

Some of them I can understand, though... yeah, I'm not sure how people find their way here from THAT. :shock:

[Tundra]

I'm assuming it has to do with our post on eragon, and probably my signature involving lemons. Not the lemons they were thinking though.

[Ariella]

...Yep, the third result in the Google search for 'Eragon lemons' is your sig, Tundra! Look what I do in the name of research >_>

[Tundra]

That's disturbing. But hilarious. Since I was talking about lemons the fruit, and Eragon in not a very nice way. :P Ah well. Anyone looking for Eragon lemons will just have to be disappointed.

[Maulden]

I'm surprised no-one comes here looking for Mauldenslash. T_T

>_>

<_<

[Thuriel]

Maulden/Eragon?

...

Pain.

Anyway! The "Eragon lemons" thing is very amusing. :D

[Maulden]

Maulden/Eragon?

...I have standards, you know. >_>

[Tundra]

I'm guessing either you are all looking up eragon lemons just to see if it's true, or... there are a lot of people looking it up in general...

[cat_lover_4113]

:shock: ... :shock: ... :shock: ... :shock:

Makes me wonder why our user numbers don't go up....

EDIT:

House Fanfiction

WOO HOO! *does cartwheels*

[Tundra]

Some things on the list now are:

Birthday Avatars
Sand Falling Game
House Fanfiction
Equine Photography
Treasure Hunt Birthday

:)

The referring source is mainly direct. So, if anyone wants to post a link to NiH somewhere, that'd be cool. :) No need to beg for new members though, since we want quality members not ones who are here just to help you out, or who only make one post then never come back. But since it's not Nanowrimo anymore, a little bit of advertising wouldn't be too bad, if you want to. This isn't an advertising campaign, just something that you are now no longer requested not to do. :)

[Tundra]

Now it also has maid marian and her merry men forum, and stargate notebook skins!

[Tundra]

And bad tattoos, and leva polka metal...

[merrihart]

^ I find that oddly amusing.

[Maulden]

Yes, we'll now forever be associated with leva polka. XD

[vindemiatrix]

...I am just hugely impressed that I managed to get "Simon Amstell quotes" in there. Respect for the legend that is Simon Amstell! :D :D Whee!

[Tundra]

lyrics "It's our time, breathe it in"
the dancing chibi gojyo

[Tundra]

snarfthewondercat
Texas Dragon... hmn

[Maulden]

...I really have no idea why we're picking up the last two. @_@

[pkgirl]

Wow!!!

[Thuriel]

^ I see me! :D

[Hippie]

Eee! And me!

[adelaidejane]

*am ashamed*
:blush:
Iz not their...

[cat_lover_4113]

And me! *dances around*

[pkgirl]

Dont feel bad AJane

[adelaidejane]

^ Oh... I never thought about it like that. Okay! ^_^

[pkgirl]

I remember when we had 15 or something, that day made me proud

[pkgirl]

Most users ever online was 65, July 24th, 2007 at 04:14 AM.
pkgirl (http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/member.php?u=645), Sammi (http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/member.php?u=523), shrekpleb (http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/member.php?u=786), sillypants (http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/member.php?u=472), snooze_button (http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/member.php?u=548)

I feels a bit left out, INVASION OF THE S PEOPLE. RUN!!!!!

[shrekpleb]

but wouldnt most of these peoples have been guests?

[pkgirl]

^ that wasnt the point, it was the fact that EVERYONE else had 'S' as the beginning.

[shrekpleb]

Damn. Not another retard moment.... i have them tooo often

*trys to think of other users with 'S' Names*

Is there any other users that start with an 'S'???

maybe you should change ur username so it has an 'S'. lol

maybe.... spkgirl, or skgirl or even just Sgirl!

[shrekpleb]

hehe. the newest member starts with an 'S' too!!!

[pkgirl]

I'll just use Sarah for my real name then! at least then when you tundra sillypants and i get together there will be two 'N's and two 'S's

Though on the internet my 'real' name is Rashell a lot, has been for about 4 years. She is more like an alter peronality.

[shrekpleb]

But Sarah isn't your real name? 0_o
I already get confussed with names!
Please dont make it worse!
