Congrats KKIM! You're a champ :cheer2::cheer2:

well... I like the pom poms!!! :D

Alex, I cant`t say that I am terribly surprised. You run a great web site and the word gets out. I just hope it does not become too much of a burden to you. Doc

Kelly is such a whore.

lol, I stay logged on all day every day so I must have helped ;P

Kelly is such a whore.

pot? kettle?? I forget ... which are you? :D

Lol

Whores get paid.

I'm just a forum slut. :[

Hehe well at least he knows where to get it :D

Here's to 200!

Well, we're there! :thumbup: Today was the first day that ninjette.org cracked the 200 user barrier in one 24 hr period. We were in the 190's for a week or two, so I figured it would happen sometime this week, and today we smashed it, going right to 207. Wonder how long it will take us to hit 300? Yay us. :)

:allhail: Wicked site! And glad I was there for both occasions :D

internet explorer?

Yup, I use 'em all (IE7, FF 3, Safari). With every change to the site, I need to make sure it looks decent in all of 'em.

ah, that makes sense.

:allhail: I bow down again! You think of everything! Even mobile browsers :thumbup:

Do you think Moore's law applies to users?

What was his rule of thumb, number of transistors on a chip doubles every 18 months or so, right? Which was then applied to processor speed, ram density, and every other metric that gets faster, cheaper, or denser in the tech world.

It's hard to estimate exactly what the growth rate is, or even what it could be going forward, but it's easy to see that it's moving in the right direction. New posts per day continues to rise just about every day. (though it dips each weekend before returning each Monday; seem some of us ninjette.org folks actually have social lives and find other things to do when they're not working! :))

What is surprising to me is that our Google ranking is still pretty darned low. I've done everything I can think of to get it moving upwards, and it is, but it's a slow crawl upward in the listings. If we're getting this growth with the current Google rankings, I think that things will take off even faster once a search for "ninja 250" has us landing in the top 10. Hard to say when that could happen, but I'm hoping for sometime this year.

Yea, it took me a minute to find this forum at first.
Fished through three other forums before finding this one, and well...this is best!

I am glad to have been a part of it.

WOO, I'M ON THE LIST! Congratulations Alex on a great site!

And how do I check top posters?

In the Quick Links pull-down menu from the navigation bar, there is a selection for Top Posters. Here's a direct link (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/misc.php?do=topposters) as well.

Alex, what do have to do collectively to make this happen?

Alex, what do have to do collectively to make this happen?

The only thing that really works is to get other relevant sites to link to ninjette.org. It happens on its own over time, there's nothing you or anyone else really need to do to make it happen. But if you were to post on other motorcycle sites, and had ninjette.org in your signature, that would be one example of a way to get another relevant site to link to ninjette.org.

Wow look at that. Kelly is still a whore. :D

yeah... and i post the most, too! :madtyping:

I didn't join for the passing of 200, so I guess I'll contribute to the 300! Especially since I'm on here literally everyday.

Looks like we've finally gathered the right amount of postwhores in one place. :D To make the all-time list as of today, you need 500+ posts to make the cut. Yay us! :rotflmao: :thumbup:

A big congats. This place just keeps getting better and better.

Gah... I need a life.

:pop2::pound:

Gah... I need a life.
Nah, we like people with no lives. :D

I spend 7 out of every 14 days at home doing stuff. My work gives me some days off. So I like to spend it here. This place has quickly hit the top forum that I like to hit. All of you are just so addicting...:runaway2:

Yea alex, I gotta show my respect to you sir. After surfing all the other 250 ninja sites. Yours is most def the most eye catching, user friendly, and has the best bunch of people on it to boot. Good job, I'm sure this will be only getting better and better with each day.

Gah... I need a life.

i feel ya :p

^^^^ Hey at least we all have eachother in our lives. Shure would be boring without all of you.

But a little human contact would be preferable. I'm starting to think that real people are just a figment of my imagination...lol

Whoa, I need to bump up my post some more before I get booted off the bottom. So....here's one

Lil one how can you do that!? Real people get in my way all the time, especially when I am enjoying a ride :D

and here's another

With all the folks joining up, it doesn't take long for unread posts to reach 1000, it took me about 3 days of being on here about 10-15 minutes a day, in morning before I go to work.

nb

Never thought of it that way

But a little human contact would be preferable. I'm starting to think that real people are just a figment of my imagination...lol

I am pretty clear with folks that are supposed to be part of my life that a "watz up??" on a my space comment does not constitute actually connecting.
Forums are fun as along as people stay semi accountable and don't be disrespectful and think they can hide from it.

Thanks Alex and everyone for being good sports and keeping this going.

I only wish there were more Mods we could do to our bikes and write about it. I think a lot has been covered already. Any new ideas for mods???

Bump. 500 just won't make the grade anymore, it's now up to 600+. :eek: And we're closing in on 50K total posts in the next few days. :thumbup: :thumbup:

not to mention we'll soon be getting our 1000th ninjette member shortly. :)

Talk about exponential growth. :thewave:

Now if we could get the same rate of HP increase from these little Ninja's hmmmmm :rolleyes:

With this many people on this forum I see us having a national rally and then an international rally since we have people from around the world now.

And today we hit 300 for the first time! :thumbup:

http://www.ninjette.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=10&pictureid=1678

does the 1000th member get door prizes? :)

They get a hearty welcome just like the rest of us. :) Looks like it may happen when I'm away this weekend at the www.cal24.com, make sure to welcome them fondly if it does happen... :thumbup:

I'm sure it will happen soon. Place has been growing like gangbusters lately... can't keep up. You paying someone to recruit new members?

Hmmfff... what makes you think I don't have a life and I'll be around this weekend??!!! :mad:

... yeah, we'll be sure to welcome them properly if it does happen while you're out playing. :p

If this keeps up we're going to have to come up with some back office code that looks for new members and sends an automatic welcome. Just saying Hi to all the new kids is going to put you in the post whore category before long.

Funny you should mention that. :rotflmao: I put in such a bot a few months back, and it's what answers for me in all the threads in the newbie section. Kkim and Snake still try and get in before the bot each time, which typically posts 2 minutes after the new thread is created. Often they do beat it. So who are the real postwhores? :eek:

Looks like we just passed our 1000th member and 50,000th post in the same 24-hr period. :thumbup:

Sorry Alex I put a 1000th member post. You can remove if you wish.

:) No need to remove it, we don't charge by the thread here. :thumbup:

Now find me some folks from Louisiana to ride with. It sure is lonely here.

:) No need to remove it, we don't charge by the thread here. :thumbup:

If you did charge by the thread then KKim would owe you alot off money. lol

Since I broke up with my gf, I've been on here almost every day. It's sad but true. :(

I am becoming one of you. :D

So, you broke up with your girlfriend so you could post here more? Now that's a committed ninjette rider... :)

Ninjette.org just hit another major milestone today. As of right now, we have a little over 84K posts on the board. This is significant, as it means that for the first time, we have more ninjette-specific posts than KF, which was the 2nd-largest collection of ninjette-related posts on the internet. In just a little over a year online, we've eclipsed it! As far as I'm aware, the only site left on the internet with more ninjette-specific posts than us is the original ninja250.org. And we're gaining. :)

I'm so grateful to all of you who have made this site as entertaining and useful as it can be, and as always I'm interested in any comments/suggestions from our members to keep this site on an upward trajectory... :thumbup:

So sweet Alex - we wouldn't be able to do that without you at the helm keeping us moving in the right directions.

Whooppeeee :thumbup:

I like that "upward trajectory!" Maybe Kawasaki will come out with the "Titan" version of the Ninjette. You know retractable wings and a "booster" hidden in the muffler!

Oh, yes congratulations...Alex! It couldn't happen without your diligence. :thumbup:

coming up on our 2000th member soon. man, has this place grown! :)

Just curious, Alex... can you post up a chart/graph of the rate of membership growth on ninjette? Would be interesting to see if you have the data and time. :thumbup:

when we hit 2000, we can become one of the donation options on new enough too :)

Here's the number of new members by month:

4948

Peaked in June, has dropped a bit since. We still have between 5 - 10 folks finding us just about every day, there just aren't an unlimited amount of ninjette enthusiasts out there. :) We now have more accounts signed up here than any other ninja250 specific site on the net.

From the day I joined I knew this was the best ninja250 site. I believe that the reason for this is the friendly nature or this site. What little disagreements that have gone on have been settled quickly. Just think all this with one administrator and no moderators. I hate moderators (they get power hungry and think they are gods)
Long story short, thanks for building such a great site Alex.

Thanks, Alex. It sure doesn't seem like enrollment has tapered off in the last few months.

Great site indeed. Thanks Alex. And sometimes arguments (mature arguments that address fact or at least honest opinion on a topic, rather than personal attacks) lead to a second, perhaps better way of doing something. Some of the other sites have members that just wait for someone to say something wrong like tighten the chain on the tight side of the range, and then they jump all over the person, where here they get an explanation of why they shouldn't do that. anyway rambling at this point.

It was great to see that we now have 2,000+ members now. This continues to be a great site.

wholy crap 2,000 members already seems like yesterday we were welcoming our 1,000th.

Way to Go Alex !!

Also a great thanks to all the folks that make this a strong community. There's lots of us here who have found a home... a place with some common ground. And that's not just that we have the same bike.

Take care everyone

On our way to 3,000 members in the near future. I was swamped at work the past few days, and came back to 800+ posts to catch up on today! :eek: :thumbup:

work? :suspicious:

Hey, no rubbing it in! :boink: :)

Alex, we all appreciate the hard work you put into maintaining this site.

Well, we're there! (at least for now). When I search for "ninja 250 forum", a hit on ninjette.org is on the front page, currently at #10. :thumbup:

^^^ That is great! That should make membership climb up faster.

So I started using Google Analytics, to better monitor how this site was being used. It gives better info about the types of users that visit the site (browsers, OS), time of day, how many pages people typically click on, that type of stuff. Much better info and easier to interpret than going to the server logs themselves. And I wanted to report that since I started doing this (June 8th or so), we have had over 1 million page views. Roughly 450K per month. We're getting to be kinda a big deal here! :)

Thanks as always to all of you that not only keep on coming back, but also providing all of the great posts, pictures, stories, and double entendres to give everyone great reasons to keep on coming back. :thumbup:

Thank you Alex!! Without your efforts and expertise it wouldn't be worth coming back to.

:clapping:

Awww, yay! I feel the love!
Seriously, Alex, you ROCK! You're a great moderator and run an incredible forum here. You guys really helped me grow from a newbie to a, what I now call, intermediate newbie. lol! I'll always consider myself a noob b/c there will ALWAYS be new things to learn! :) When you think you know it all, you get into trouble.
Thanks so much for the information and entertainment! LOVE this board! :) xoxo

Thanks Alex - great forum. BTW I was just on a CBR forum and a guy who was going to get a 600RR decided on a 250R so I pointed him this way.

Traffic continues to move in the right direction. We hit another milestone a few days back, over 500 individual members here within a day, and another new high even today. (We have many times that traffic in guests, but this 500+ represents people who have registered here and logged in).

They nerfed backlinks a long time ago. Backlinks don't really matter anymore. Now if the backlinked page's content is relevant, then that is a different matter. Google is "by in large" a "relevance" search engine.

Oh, I thought googles spider still boosted a pages ranking by instances found of its url on the net.
