Farlo Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats to all of the step team! So is the New Year's Resolution to quadruple your growth?We're gonna need more bandwidth if that's what we're aiming for, but the bigger the better!

Farlo Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just a quick update for January: on the forums alone we had over 43,000 unique visitors, 3.6 million hits, and over 2,500 visits per day! Also, since the site was launched we've had an average 47% month-to-month growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 We're still breaking our records. Most users online at once updated to today: 87 users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just hit a new high today on max forum users.... we should break 100 very soon now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlo Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 The stats tracker finally updated with info for yesterday:On the forums there was an approximate 30% increase in visitors and hits compared to the day before and an approximate 40% increase compared to Feb. 1st.On the Wiki we had almost 4000 visitors (40% increase from the day before) and over 96,000 hits (versus 53,000 the day before)The STEP Guide on the Wiki has now been viewed over 17,500 times! The downside to this is that the Nexus file has only been downloaded 1,000 times :(Overall we had quite a spurt of growth as expected. In the future we'll likely see less spikes in traffic like this and a more smooth but accelerated increase with the new release cycle.

Solist Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Need to put some special secret sauce into the Nexus file that all of us have to go there to get it for. The final INI config settings or something...asking users to grab it is one thing, making it so they *have* to is another. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's a good idea, you guys could put it with your custom ENB config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlo Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 100 all-at-once max reached today Sweet! I wish MyBB had some kind of tracking so we could see how many people are actually active (as opposed to asking a question and never returning). There's got to be a plugin for that somewhere...

Users will show up for 15 minutes since their last interaction before disappearing from the online list, which is good enough. Attempting anything beyond this would involve trying to get real-time updates, but you still don't know when a user is still reading a page, has ran off to grab something before coming back, or has actually left.

rootsrat Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have a feeling, that within last couple of months STEP became much more "visible" within the modding community and also more "respected" if you like. I've noticed large amount of mod authors posting in step forums, as well as them taking on board step community feedback and suggestions. Just thought I'll share this observation, it's just good to see the impact of this project and it's community influence on modding :) Big ups!

z929669 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks roots, yes, things are chugging along with the new wiki format for the guide. So many more things are now possible. We are seriously thinking about increased hosting capacities now, since the community has outgrown our current limits. More on that later (we have doubled our number of members within the last couple of months or thereabouts). A biweekly release schedule will really add to the pile. All in good fun!

Farlo Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 As I mentioned in the outage announcement, this month we got over 5.6 million hits (almost 1/3 of the total hits for 2012) and the guide has over 32,000 views! Simply incredible! We're also approaching the 1 year anniversary for the site, which the logs indicate opened on March 21st. Happy (almost) birthday to us!

AWstats, which is what you have now, frankly sucks. Google Analytics is free, requires about 5 minutes of setup time and you'll have more stats than you know what to do with.
