ONLINE FORUM>>>>
The new online forum has cracked the 1000 member mark. There has been an enormous growth in the last 8 months since its inception.(5000 posts with 900 topics.) Not only has the forum become a great resource and reference for others, it has also been the inspiration for many people to add their own contributions, in the form of screens and plugins. There are now 6 new screen sets that can be attributed to the activity on the forum.
It has also helped in reducing the amount of repeat questions for new users who are trying to set up Mach on their computers.
There has been many new sections added, some very popular and some hardly used. I will be doing some reviews of the current arrangement in the next few weeks.
There are many regular users on the forum and many who just visit from time to time.
I would like to thank all those regular members who consistently contribute, especially Brian Barker, who is chiefly responsible for answering most peoples requests.
WEBSITE STATS>>>>
I am also blown away at the phenomenal amount of activity the web site has had in just 100 days since it was put up. 160,000 page loads (just for the front page only),
http://my7.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?granularity=monthly&project_id=1384676 Due to our links exchange page, we now have 40 other web sites that link to us. I am very grateful to those who come on board with the links exchange program. This too helps with our Google rating. We are currently getting a first page Google listing for a search on "CNC Software"
There are some new changes due to be released in the next few weeks, including a better downloads page, and better website intergration with the forum etc.
I would like to strongly thank every one who has contributed in some way over the last few months.
Very warm regards,
Benny
