For curiosity's sake, what kind of traffic volumes does this forum serve?
Yup, thats me I'm the silent man behind the curtain that projects the big green face in front of you guys...umm....not really all that, but yeah I'm the guy.

Good question! We're churning out some decent numbers for a niche market. Last billing cycle was 99,378 MB of bandwidth used. This billing cycle we're already up to 69,994 MB, but that's partly due to another http://penny-arcade.com reference. We average around 1600 visits a day now. There's also some good stats at the bottom of the forum main page that shows membership.

Overall I'm very pleased with the growth considering that 99% of our advertising is word of mouth from the users and search engines. I personally don't go and advertise anywhere myself, but the community leaders do, and a lot of the regular long-time users tend to make lots of shout-outs at other places.

It is truly an honor to keep this place going, and I hope once my divorce is final to make it an even bigger entity if all goes well.
