A Look Back At Community Engagement

Last week's Nedstat two millionth hit got me digging up ancient traffic logs. After we opened in August 1998 we got about 8,000 unique front page visits each week until Secret Ops was released. Then it boomed to 30,000 per week. That subsided a bit to 17,000 or so during the weekly episodic releases, then dipped to about 8,000 until the spring of 1999. With the Movie we jumped to 13,000 visits per week. After Privateer Online was cancelled, the initial shock knocked us down to around 5,000 for quite some time. However steadily throughout 2003 we've somehow climbed back to 9,000 visits per week. You've helped us to reach a new record in sustained community engagement. This will be our busiest and biggest year yet, and your continued enthusiasm and support will eventually bring us all even more good fortune.
