If I went by the official launch on August 9, 2006, it would actually be 5 more days. But I posted the first story on here on August 4th and I'm going with that. This site has hit the one-year mark, and it's time to celebrate!



The past year has seen 361 stories (including this one), resulting in an average 0.989 posts per day (so close!). Of those, the breakdown is as follows:

niraj: 245
dave: 108
junosand: 3
Panicle: 2
Kirat: 2

The Chronicles of Narnia Lazy Sunday story has about a quarter of the 40,000+ total story hits the site has seen. Dave and my riddle has amassed 8,029 visits and 78,955 pageviews.

Unfortunately yesterday I was forced to disable anonymous commenting since in the last week there were 4,000 spam comments that were caught by my spam filter. The spam was inflating traffic stats and causing a general slowdown, so anonymous commenting is disabled for the time being. I do plan to bring it back in some form, but in the meantime registered users can still post comments, and registration takes about 2 seconds.

This blog has also seen the creation of several handy tools like custom countdowns, a DVD price comparison tool, and a movie database tool (currently only catalouging my own collection, but I may look to expand this to registered users).

I don't think this blog is going to slowdown anytime soon. I like being able to have a place to find and put funny, crazy, and interesting stories from all over and hopefully you do too.

So what's up next for this site? I've heard rumors of *cough*a significant redesign*cough*. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by.
