Looks like the forum has gotten so popular I need to upgrade the hosting plan

[Billy Golightly]

This place has really grown by leaps and bounds in just a short year, or even less. To put things into perspective, our hosting plan for the forum is 4500mb disk space, and 100GB bandwidth. According to our statistics, on January of 05 we had a total of 36GB of bandwidth used for the month. January of 06, and we're at 85GB :eek:

Now before some of you get all going saying its innacurate because of the fact that theres more people uploading and downloading attachments, ect. I will say that is correct. HOWEVER, January has been the best month traffic wise yet to date.

So far this month we've had a total of 6,673,335 hits (Everytime an object is requested or loaded. Attachments, smilies, images on the skins, pages, ect. Pretty much any kind of content). We had an average of 9,268 hits per hour. The maximum recorded was 24,953 in an hour. The average divides into 154 hits per minute and 2.5 hits every second. That means, every second that passes the forum has served 2.5 pieces of content to a person

There were 35,985 Individual visits. This generaly means individual people but due to the fact that IP addresses change that might belong to the same person, ect this is probably a little high. There was an average of 1,199 vists per day. That divides into 49 individual visits per hour.

Page wise, there were 95,511 loaded this month. Pages is actual forum threads, private messages, user CP, registration pages, ect. Any link you click on and it takes you somewheres on the forum is considered a page. There were an average of 3,183 pages loaded to peoples computers per day. That divides into 132 pages loaded per hour, which divides into 2.2 pages loaded for someone every minute.

The most activity occured during the 9:00PM hour in the evening. The least was at the 4:00AM hour.

There were visitors during the month of January coming from the following countries. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimate on the bandwidth and hits by the statistics software and may not totally correspond with other #s.

To sum it all up, we're getting some CRAZY exposure and use out of this forum which is definetly a good thing :D

[Tri-ZNate]

umm where is cyprus? :lol:

[slothminx]

I was reading that with my jaw hanging open Billy, :eek:


Ive been looking after tri2stroke and that has really put into perspective the figures you have there.

Im surprised at the amount of hits from the UK there!.
And 56 hits from nigeria :lol:


Is the forum here on a dedicated server?

[slothminx]

umm where is cyprus? :lol:


Its in the mediterranean ;)


Put it in google maps.

maps.google.com

[Billy Golightly]

Nope, its still on a shared account amazingly. We have their biggest plan "Super". I just sent them an email today to see if we can get a little bit more bandwidth, because we've been getting about 5GB or so a day at the end of this month from what I've seen. We have tonight and all of tomorrow to go before the counter is reset. Hopefully we dont hit the 100GB mark before the months out heh.

[chris200x]

I really dont know too much about all this stuff but if your upgrading does that mean more features or smilies things of that nature.

:TrikesOwn

[Billy Golightly]

No...It just mean that for an extra $20 a month the forums will work instead of everyone getting a blank page that says "BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED" until the end of the month.

[chris200x]

:eek: :eek: :eek: Now we can't have that!!! :lol:

I will mail my donation in the morning. :naughty:

[xd 200x]

I had to upgrade my forum last month. It really sucks. I had to go the ad route though since im broke. Tire rack better pay up or im going porn ads because they pay more

[YAMAHA_Jim]

I'd like to give a big shout out to all my Azerbaidjan brothas out there,wherever the heck that is. lol

Seriously, thats awesome Billy. ,,,and they keep saying threewheelers are dead. I still remember when thier was 1 message brd with 6 or 7 guys on it and you'd be lucky to see a new post every 3 or 4 days. Try finding used trike parts back then,lol Now you just post a message and usually within a few hrs someone will reply with what you need.
I guess we have Mr. Gates to thank for all this; I think he's the one that came up with the internet.
Anyways,,,As long as 3ww is here,I'll be here.:w00t:

[bigredhead]

wow.. that's insane !

I have to do a search, and will shortly.. but is it possible to go back to the very first post ever made on the site !!.. that's gotta be a good one !!

[edog]

I was talking about this with Mike from Vintage Motorsports 2 weeks ago.This site has realy grown.:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

[Howdy]

:eek: :eek: :eek: Now we can't have that!!! :lol:

I will mail my donation in the morning. :naughty:

I will be making my donation soon as well ( as always 10% of all profit made from selling parts on 3WW, plus some extra ).

Actually Al Gore is the one that Publicly stated he invented the internet. But then I think that is Political BS!! lol

Howdy

[Billy Golightly]

Hey BRH, you can to a certain extent: http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?p=1

The only thing is before vBulletin we had phpBB. Before phpBB we had EZboard. Before EZBoard we had boards2go. Before boards2go we had InsideTheWeb. So...the early days are long long gone sadly :(

[Kintore]

Thanks awesome Billy! I have been a addict to this site ever since I joined. Im sure thats why people are always here, its good clean fun!
Go 3WW!

[ATC crazy]

Thats awesome Billy! I've been here for 4 years, and can really see how things have changed.

I just want to thank you, Howdy, all the moderators, and all the previous admin's who have put this site together, and kept it running without a hitch! This is by far, the best site on the web IMO, and will always be my favorite!

[Cody]

Didnt Howdy start this site? Anyways, congrats!

[Howdy]

Didnt Howdy start this site? Anyways, congrats!

No, I didn't start the site. ThreeWheelio is the one that started it. I joined aprox 8-9 months later. Been here every since.

[DeePa]

[Howdy]

where can i donate 10 bucks to?
Paypal Donations:
NON-Credit Card Funded Paypal: donations@3wheelerworld.com
For Credit card funded Paypal use: 4howdy@bright.net ( this paypal account will be changing in the near future ). Be sure to put 3WW Donation for the topic. This makes it easy for me to notice and then forward it to the 3WW account.

You can also send donations to Billy or myself. We will then deposit it into the 3WW account. ;)
Howdy

[New2ATC]

Wow.... I guess that goes to show you that ATC's are still loved by very many.

[Cody]

Howdy, wheres ThreeWheelio?

[Howdy]

Howdy, wheres ThreeWheelio?

ThreeWheelio left the site to do some other adventures. I do wished he would stop in once and a while to say Hi. And to see how far the site he started has come.

The guys in Azerbaijan are probably the ones who are sporten all the 87's:lol: :lol:

[YAMAHA_Jim]

:lol: :lol: After a bad night of racing, reading that made me laugh. I should really catch up on my geography.I think they left that country out when I went to school.

[Derrick Adams]

Hey Billy, I had a thought today. We've had limited exposure thru a couple magazines over the last year that may have contributede to growth. What's going to happen when they air Trikefest on television? Might start putting a plan together for that one!

[CorbinKale]

Wow, 533 from Iran? I don't know what to think about that. :lol:

As for Gore inventing the internet, well, that was a clumsy statement he made that got stretched even further by his opponents. A more accurate statement would have been, "I never stood in the way of the invention of the internet." He was a politician that was interested in the internet and did what he could to promote it, but he had no hand in inventing it, other than signing funding legistlation, the same as many other politicians. The link below gives a fairly good representation of the events.

[motorola79]

There's any chance to update this statistics?
I was just curious to see if my country is in the list now :)
And i found interesting to see the distribution of people it 3ww forums
Thanks

[200xcellent]

I thought Threewheelio passed away? Something like a Jeep fell on him?

[Billy Golightly]

He has, this post was before that time. I will try and post some updated stats soon.

[200xcellent]

oh shoot, im sorry i didnt read the dates.

[motorola79]

He has, this post was before that time. I will try and post some updated stats soon.

Thanks! :Bounce

[Billy Golightly]

Heres some more up to date stat material included in the 2 .pdf's below. The city data is a little un-accurate, but very interesting nonetheless. This is for one months worth.

[edog]

Looks like NY is in the house!

Looks like the average time spent on site is 10 min.Then I guess i'm not normal.lol

[Billy Golightly]

Heres one more, visitor track info broken down into US States.

[stoney420]

same thing for me...

[motorola79]

It worked ok for me, using Adobe 6.0 Professional.
My country has the largest "avg time on site" and the minimum "bounce rate" :w00t:
I think im addicted to 3ww :rolleyes:

[Billy Golightly]

You guys will probably have to upgrade to the newest version of the Adobe reader, and then it should work.

[oldskool83]

it does not supprize me with the PA/NY areas have a ton of traffic. just look at how many of us in PA /NY there are on here...oh and we got a lot of riding land in middle to upstate PA too.
