As is customary and traditional, we celebrate every new 1,000 members here and share the traffic stats. This time it's 29,000!
There were just under 1.4 million page views this month, tied for our record. It took us 35 days to get this latest 1,000 members--we're averaging about one new member every 48 minutes.
Thanks as always to all the community members who make this growth possible, and especially the moderators who approve membership applications and blog posts and otherwise answer questions and keep things ticking here. We've got about 60 moderators now, but if anyone would like to join this group, please PM me. If you've been here for a while and have been participating, you'll fit in great.

Active based upon the member actually logging in and visiting the site... There's got to be a tool for that sort of reporting.
For example:- "Number of people that post / month" against the "total number of members for each month" all graphed over time.
The definition of "active" would need to be agreed on.
What would be much more interesting, would be to know the number of active members.
Remind me again Chris how long did the first 1000 take? Where will the 30k party be?? Should there be a mass fly the weekend after??
