End of Month Stats for March 2012

[scott]

Welcome to April! March was a fairly good month, we saw a new forum upgrade, met some new folks in the community and saw some pretty good growth in the database too.

Users

March saw us add 361 new users to the site, this is a little low compared to the average, but the good news is most of them are real people and not dirtball spambots! With the new forum in place, we've upped our watch on Spam and seem to have it under control, for the most part. Quality over quantity, for sure.

• Total Registered Users: 3,764
• New Users: 361
• Daily Average: 12

Items

The database still got plenty of loving this month, with 1,000 new items added and 2,524 edits accepted! We broke the 22,000 items mark and were only 8 items away from hitting 23,000. Good work! We also saw a bunch of [EU] titles added this month, thanks to our new friends from across the pond!

• Total Items in Database: 22,992
• New Items: 1,000
• Daily Average: 32
• Edits: 2,524
• Daily Average Edits: 81

Collections

I thought we had a huge surge in the collection numbers in February, but March trampled on it handily. Users in March added 21,611 items to their collections, bringing our total of collected items up to 134,776. That's pretty amazing.

• Total Items in Collections: 134,776
• Daily Average: 924
• Total Items in Wishlists: 5,883
• Items For Sale/ Trade: 438

That's it for March! Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Looks like some solid numbers again last month. Great work everyone!

That reminds me...I still need to upload all of my guides...ugh.

Great numbers!

On a side story, I've asked 5 people about tracking their collection online in the past 2 weeks and 2 out of the 5 had already found and began using vgcollect.com thanks to the Android app! Keep spreading the word guys!

Another awesome month! Thanks to everyone who has contributed either by submitting games/edits or simply being a member of our community. It amazes me each day when I look at the stats and see how far we've come.

<3 you all.

The most shocking part to me is 3764 members ... yet we dont even have 1% of that posting on the forums.

Our awesomeness intimidates them.  We have to face the facts.

Yeah VGCollect feels small too me because there are so few users on the forums but yet the website is really active.

[amauriel]

I'd be OK with big forums, but I really enjoy the community we have, even if it is small. Quality over quantity indeed.

And I'd like to note that March was the month that I finally got my butt in gear and cataloged most of my stuff. I was almost 5% of the total items added to collections in March, unless my math is way off. (Which is totally possible,  )

Now to just start editing things and adding photos...

I made a recruitment in March. I feel like I've done my duty for Mother VGCollect.

The 1% doesn't surprise me at all. Forum traffic is hard to come by as most people are fine being lurkers. I think we are doing great though by having enough quality users with some good discussion. There rarely is a time when I hit  the forums that there isn't a new post.

WE ARE THE 1%.

[htimreimer]

wow march was good month for the site

[soera]

I have noticed that too. There is always something new posted.

1%'s are badass!

I joined and added my entire collection in March, so I'm happy to be part of this site's solid growth!

This isn't the first time this had happened to me..... at least that's what my mom said when no one came to my birthday.

I think for how long the site has been around we have a good base of people posting on the forum to the point where there is enough new activity for new members to contribute.
