    So August is now in the books for another year and I can confirm....

    We were ahead of last year's August by 222 posts. Absolutely smashed that. It was the busiest August ever on record for the Christmas forum by some margin. We are now 569 posts ahead of where we were this time last year.

    August has steam-rolled into 2nd place for the busiest month so far this year.

    A look at the year today, shows our upward trend since May.

    Am not surprised to be honest. Just seemed to be much busier this summer then last. With the year that's in it i can understand people having more time to post and generally needing the Christmas cheers all year :D

    Out of interest LoughC, how many posts are we at in total for 2020? Wondering are we on target to break the next biggest milestone in terms of total annual posts.

    I think it's fitting of it's own thread, the final peek behind the curtain for 2019.

    And the ultimate reveal, the stats for 2019 in it's entirety. As you can see we ended up the year with a fantastic 10,610 posts.

    Can we better it in 2020? How can we continue to grow the community? Is 11k our target for 2020 now :eek: :P :pac:

    We are really going to have to get motoring in the last 4 months!!!

    QS vrs roses is worth a yearly 1k of posts.

    In a sign of the times yesterday was our 2nd busiest day on the Christmas Forum for 2020, anyone want to take a guess for what was the busiest?

    Also we have now surpassed 2014 total number of posts for the year.

    Randomly enough it was the 15th of Jan, a Wednesday... I must look back and see what made that day so popular haha, the 6th of Jan made sense to be busy but the 15th....

    Off the top of my head i remember something about the end of Christmas in Eastern European countries being around the 15th.

    Am most likely completely wrong!

    Edit: Looking back there was something about a podcast around that time as well :)

    One of my friends last night shared something Christmassy on social media an he's not a big Christmas head, so naturally I messaged him going it's not like you to be sharing Christmas posts.

    He said he wanted to share something positive to break up all the COVID doom and gloom and he said he was really looking forward to Christmas this year as he usually self isolates at Christmas so he can't see COVID disrupting his plans and it gives him time to switch off from everything going on.
