actually, i don't care anymore. As you said, you don't need to justify anything.

It seems we got a couple of new people with power on HAN that don't like street racing. Not implying anyone in particular.

I like what you guys have done with the site.

You've definitely reduced your bandwidth requirements, anyway (125 current users online vs. 577 a year ago). Wow! How did you guys make such an improvement to the site? Could it be:
Ignoring the fact that the vast majority of your members are fine with discussing "unlawful activities"?
Enforcing rules that >99% of members have never seen or agreed to prior to joining?
Re-arranging/combining some of the forums, while deleting others?
Locking posts due to "unlawful activities" (unless, of course, mods/admins are involved)?

I have no problem with any of these people or anything they are saying.... but if you are going to go NAZI with your sh!tty new rules (even on 20+ really old posts), at least take the time to go through and lock threads with moderators "dicussing unlawful activities".
Yeah... you guys are doing a great job.

Nathan you rock man :irock: I agree with you, and I want the old han back. :sad:

The only thread out of that list that is current (heck, that thread was created even before the TOS went up) would be my thread about the street racing show on Discovery, which wasn't even about street racing, it was about building two cars to compete against each other on the drag strip!

Thanks, we are doing a great job! :thumbup:

I did not present the graph as any kind of justification. I presented the graph as clear evidence against your accusation of diminishing interest.

You made your claim without due consideration to the facts, which facts are in evidence and clear to anyone with an open mind.

What it tells me is that HAN was stuck in a rut, and it took changes to make something happen.

Unless 20,000 people removed the Alexa toolbar all at the end of March, I highly doubt your above theory will also apply.

Oh you want more than a little graph you say?

Ok, here goes.

As you can see in the above image, we first started tracking on February the 17th. From February 17 to the 29th, we tracked 21,148 unique visitors, 53,114 number of visits, 1970833 pages, 6307593 hits, and 29.70 gb of bandwidth. The above was tracked for 12 days.

Now, for March, we are only tracking 7 days, which is almost half of the above tracked days, and 1731 unique visitors shy of hitting last month's numbers, 8043 number of visits shy of hitting last month's numbers, 301237 pages shy of last month's numbers, 1220011 hits shy of last months numbers, and 5.81 GB shy of hitting last month's mark. Again, this is all in 7 days, almost half the time it took last month's figures to reach this mark.

There's your evidence of increased growth. If you want, I'll even send you a copy of our stats after we hit March 12!

OR Don't ask questions if you don't like hearing the answers. Knighton asked "If it were up to you, what solution would you provide?" You gotta a problem with that? Take it up with him.

I stated what I would do here, Dave. Are you now going to change the TOS so that I can't state my opinions as well?
