Now that this busy March month is over, it's time to compile stats. Looking at the statistics, March 2010 is definitively the busiest month in Omnimaga history in terms of posting and for the new board, the busiest in terms of traffic (altough we do not recall ever getting this much traffic on the old board, remembering how our old stat counter increased by only about 100000 during the busiest months). Anyway, this month was a record one:
-First of all, the most notable record breaking was the monthly post count one. For the first time ever, Omnimaga forums got at least 5000 posts in one single month with a total of 5322, beating by far April 2006 record of 4047 in the process and the new board record of 2614 set one month earlier. This 5322 is a 203% increase over last month.
-Secondly, that month was the first time the new Omnimaga forum gets days with 200+ posts. Such thing even occured 9 times that month alone, one of which was over 300 with 362 messages.
-During the final hour of 2006, Netham45 and Tenniskid493 posted about 600 messages together in the Randomness forum to try to get the last post before New Year 2007. If we exclude that record of 669 posts in one day, March 23rd 2010 is now the most active day in Omnimaga history, with a total of 362 messages (one year ago, it took over an entire week to get that many).
-There have been only 4 days under 100 posts that month and only 9 under 150. None were under 50.
-There have also been a total of 379828 page requests in March 2010 (304587 forum hits), beating our record of 268161 (234184 forum hits) set two months earlier. In daily average, IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!
-We also reached a record amount of unique visitors on the site in a month, for a total of 95857, beating November 2009 record of 78144.
Besides records, some milestones were hit too in March!
-First of all, in 2010 we alerady broke the 10000 posts mark with a total of 10527 (about 55% of the entire english z80 calculator community activity). In 2009, it took an entire year to get only 4477 more.
-Since August 25th 2008, this SMF incarnation of Omnimaga got 1 million unique visitors and will most likely reach 3 million page requests next month.

On an unrelated note, some forum theme settings were changed. Hopefully, it might speed up page displaying slightly.
