Title: The numbers show that IHD is reaching lots of people
Post by: okarol on July 27, 2011, 09:32:14 AM
Our stats for this site show that for the first time our forum has received over 1 Million page views, so far, for the month of July. The last few months have been in the 900,000 range but today we went over a million, FOR ONE MONTH!!! I am sad there are so many folks who have kidney problems or are on dialysis, but so grateful for this forum, and for each of you who participate. Every post reaches people looking for answers, even those who do not register as members, or members who read only, and never post. Thank you for keeping IHD as the #1 online support forum for CKD!

billy, switching to giant fonts is really hard on the members using visual assistance software.  Please keep the giant fonts to a minimum!  Thanks, jbeany.

Wow!  It's amazing to think of all the CKD people around the world who are viewing the site.  I hope and pray we have helped them along.  Thanks to Sluff, Karol and all the admin staff for all your hard work.   :grouphug;

I have to say that I am very greatfull to everyone on IHD. I have learned sooooo much in a very short period of time because of all the posts that the members have taken time to share with others. I am not alone!!!

WONDERFUL!!  :yahoo; :2thumbsup; :clap; :yahoo;  My only sadness is that Epoman is not here to see the results of his vision.  Those of us who know him, know how he would have crowed and showed off about gaining this milestone!!

Most impressive. Each time a person views IHD, would they be so kind as to place a crisp $1 bill in an envelope and forward it to me.

I would venture to say that we have many lurkers who don't register. If I changed the permissions to must be a member to view we would never be able to keep up with registrations.

True, there are over a hundred "guests" at any one time viewing posts.

Please don't ever do that! I was a luker for awhile and one of the main reasons I registered is because of all the great info I got from here. Many people do not want to become part of a group or register and that is fine. The information found on this site is a FANTASTIC PUBLIC SERVICE. If I had to "register" before viewing the posts I would have just simply gone on to the next site in my search for dialysis and I would NOT be as informed as I am now!!!
Never have I paid to support a message group nor have I felt this strongly about one, but I am going over to become a paying member right now just to help keep this board open to the general population.

Thank you so very much
Bill

I agree with wbdoug.  Info on this site should be as easily accessible as possible.  Things are working fine as they are, and our admins surely don't need extra work!
