Well that's that, then. Three years old. I hope you're all are getting as much fun out of this as I am.
There's not much else to say, so here's some numbers*
[unorder=square][#]As of now, there's been a total of 85,888 visitors to thumped.com
[#]When the site started I was happy if the daily traffic got into double figures - nowadays, a normal weekday sees about 150 people visting, with weekends at about half that. Not exactly huge numbers in interweb terms...
[#]Tuesday is the busiest day of the week & Saturday is the slowest.
[#]Busiest hour of the day is 1pm - 2pm. Ahh.. sweet, sweet lunchtime.
[#]The top referring site is The Evil Gerald with 7.45% of all referred visitors coming from there. Thanks chaps!
[#]The top five words used in search engine queries leading here are 'music', 'free', 'irish', 'downloads', 'thumped', 'punk', 'underground', 'sound', 'thumpedcom' & 'wwwthumpedcom'
[#]19.54% of you are using Netscape; 79.84% are using Internet Explorer; "Other" browsers account for 0.60%
[#]89.44% of you are on Windows; Mac users a paltry 6.80% (hello anthony and pantone); Unix only gets 1.20%; Other weirdos 2.54%
[/unorder]
And if I can think of any other boring facts i'll post them here too.
Edit: jesus i knew there was something else i was meant to have added to this: a big thank you to the people who've been helping out over the years - you know who you are. All the people who wrote stuff; the people who gave permission to use their music or photos.... and a special big thanks to the people who sent messages of support like "pete - that looks like shit", "pete - that font looks like a bra advert", "pete - that still looks like shit".
You guys rule.
