I believe that our feeling of community, quality of information and friendliness are the most important things that, over time, will grow our community. As admin, however, I have to also see how we are doing on the Internet and Google Analytics is an important tool for that. This may or may not be important to you. For the stat junkies, below is what Google says we've done in the first 6 months of 2026.
I normally look for the trends - the green arrow pointing up and the numbers at least being double digits year-over-year. In the graph, the dotted line is last year same time versus this year (the solid line). I would say we're doing pretty good.
I'm sure there is some rogue AI bot noise in this that is inflating the numbers but the point is seeing an upward trend.
Looking forward to seeing how we will end up the year.
All the best,
