Thank you!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to all AVForums members and visitors. We had over 1 million unique users in November, showing that with your help, our community is going from strength to strength.
We are continuing to work hard to bring you new movie and hardware reviews, podcasts and other content. And we also continue to work hard, with the invaluable help of the moderators, to ensure that despite being big, we retain as friendly an atmosphere as possible.
All suggestions on how to improve the website are, as always, welcome.

Re: Thank you!
I noticed the record for the highest number of users online was recently broken too.
Nice one

Re: Thank you!
I wonder how many signed up in the last month due to the Scan free postage deal?
I'd be interested as I know this deal got posted on several forums & as such I reckon many will not visit again.

No, thank you.

During that busy time, I would say that near 2,000 extra people signed up because of the scan deal.
That's about an additional, maybe 8 days worth in one go.
That, of course, is a good thing, because a certain percentage of those people will become regular members.
We continue with our policy of removing inactive members' accounts, so for those people who let their email addresses become invalid, and don't update AVForums, their account will be deleted in 90 days.

Well done everyone at AVF. This is probably my favourite place on the web thanks to the great attitudes of the members and objectivity.

Well I have to say that I'm truly surprised that you get on average 2000 extra members over a weekly period. This shows then that the word of AVForums is truly getting around.

Yes one would certainly hope so (I wonder what percentage that would be?) even if it took a deal for them to sign up of which I'm supposing this was a part of your aim.

The deal is for AVForums members. On another site, the offer is only open to actively posting members with more than 25 posts.

I don't post too often, but like many, I guess, have picked up huge amounts of top information from this site. Impressive statistic - hats off

Re: Thank you!
Stuart, just for clarification, what exactly do you mean by unique visitor?
For example, if I visit the site 7 times in a week does that make me one (1) unique visitor, or seven (7) unique visitors?
Nothing other than curiosity makes me ask this question.
Cheers,
Martin.
