OK today we acheived another milestone in the operation of ExplorOz. So for the chance to win a free
membership or annual renewal (life members can have choice of merchandise to $50).
What was the milestone we reached today?
First correct post will win - no clues.
Have a good one.

No sorry - too early in the morning for a max user period - typically we have the most users online after 6PM EST each day. In fact I am not sure what the max has been, however I have seen over 4000 concurrent users once - a year or so ago.

We actually record around 75 million hits per month now I guess the next milestone in this area would be 100 million hits for the month, We may not get this one this year but you never know only 2 months ago it was around 50 million.

No that is not it. We have hit 2020 before however the number is currently at 1981 and goes up and down around 10 per day. We did have 2000 registered about 2 weeks ago and first reached 2000 late last year however it has dropped a little since. It seems we are hovering around the 2000 level so we need to work harder to make the program even better to entice more memberships.
There are a number of developments about to start in the
treks,
blogs and mapping area that will be excellent member offerings so we are placing significant resources and development in this area for our members.

ExplorOz has been a recipient of Top 10 Award Shields every quarter of every year since 2002. In each instance, ExplorOz has been ranked in the top 3 of all sites in the Hitwise "Automotive - Recreation" category and often receives an award in the Top Ten for the "Travel - Destinations & Accommodation" category. In the most recent quarter October - December, 2008, www.exploroz.com received two shields - "Travel - Destinations & Accom". category, and the "Automotive - Recreation" category for which we achieved a Number Two ranking. These achievements illustrate how substantial our audience numbers are against other websites in our industry.

Ok just to let others know how I think John worked this out. After it was revealed the
shop had something to do with it he has used his head a gone and purchased a book (thanks for the order John) and as the system confirmed this order he found out his order number was 30014 and thus summised that we past 30,000.
I hope this is right John - it was a guess on my behalf but appears to be be the most logical. Very well done.
