We had a very busy day today (35,000+ pages viewed) and also passed the 15 million mark for pages viewed since the site went live in December of 2001. I also had a message from the server today saying it had to increase the number of clients to 160, this being the number of simultaneous requests it's allowed to take at one time. A good sign we are indeed growing. The old server by comparison never went much above 70 clients or we ran out of system memory.
We are also rapidly approaching the 3000 member mark. It's always amazing to me to see this site grow past all my expectations.

Thanks to everyone who makes this happen (daily).
Cheers,

Jim,
that's absolutely outstanding (awesome???). Thank you for the time and effort you put in the site developement and to the other fellas. 3k members on a hobby site it's great too, and I think that the key of such a success (on top of your unvaluable work) is the overall quality of the people contributing.
So once more thank you Jim, thanks to all the editors and the top level fellas who made Armorama great!!!
Ciao

What can I say that has not been said already?
The real success of Armorama is that Jim has successfully created an environment where so many modellers from all over the world keep coming back to share their enthusiasm for the hobby.
Keep up the good work.

Congrats Jim. This is further proof that this is the place to be on the web for modelers!
