August was a busy month around the forums. At least it was for me, as we made a major upgrade from the 3.1.x branch of IP.Board to the 3.2.x branch. The software that drives the Tech Library also underwent a major upgrade and the Gallery software has been upgraded twice in the last month.
The good news is that forum donations hit the monthly quota, so there was no need to withdraw funds from the bank to pay all the expenses this morning.
The 7-month string of record-setting traffic numbers has been broken. It was bound to happen, as trying to sustain that kind of growth forever was just not realistic. But we came close. Our total visits number was down just 284 visits from July's total, so I'm certainly not hanging my head. Since Day One around here, the months of July, August and September have always sagged a bit, most likely because people were getting out and enjoying the summer weather.
We added another 62 members to the site and 1190 new posts.
August was also a sad month, as we lost Rick, a long-time member. How many of you have been around long enough to remember when Rick was a member of the forum staff? Godspeed, Rick, you will be missed.
So, here we go. It's another new month. Welcome to September, everyone.
