Our traffic is rising so fast the last week in October seemed almost a different universe from the first week in October. Thanks for all your help in spreading the word. If you extrapolate from the last seven days (which weren’t affected by some weird, unique event), we are now averaging well over 1 million monthly visits from around 650,000 unique visitors. That’s more than triple our traffic in August, which was still our biggest month since we started. We still haven’t figured out a good way to convert this into a viable economic model – although your donation dollars have let us get a new server (just in time!) and a new design with features you’ve been clamoring for for a while (I know, I know, but it’s coming). But, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a labor of love and if I have to do it for free for ever, I’ll keep at it. (By “we,” I’m not referring to some long lost royal ancestry, but me and my best buddy Robert Cameron at Fantascope who is largely responsible for everything but the writing.) But something tells me we’ll find a kind patron or mega-sponsor soon and we’re talking to lots of people all the time. Anyway, thanks for your dedication and querulous, constant feedback.
