    The TV specials is certainly giving May a boost, we're on course to doubt last months figure for May and we're hot on the tails of April-21.

    The TV specials has surprised me. It was following a couple of heavy hitters in movies and songs however is holding its own so far.

    Once it lures people in then you start to see a lot more bold threads.

    STATS STATS STATS!!!!

    So May is in the bag, we ended up 612 posts ahead of May last year we are now 4,749 posts ahead of last year up to May.

    May-21 actually ended up on 999 posts which hurts my little OCD brain, and I take full responsibility as I didn't post here yesterday :pac:

    Bit surprised that last may only had 387 posts in total, seems low for what was a bumper year for us. But 999 for this year, thats an increase of 250%!! wow!

    Think you're right, April & May were the height of the first lockdown with the amazing weather... remember WFH up in the attic room & the sun beaming in the rooflights & me sat in shorts & a t-shirt working away... a million miles from the office & shirts/ties/suite etc... thems the days eh..;)

    Looking forward to seeing the June stats, it definitely felt like the quietest month so far (& unsurprising if so given its summertime)

    I always take it that if its quiet in here usually means that weather is nice, people are holidays etc. I'd say we'll have a quiet summer and then full on ramp up from Sept :)

    So we ended up in June 374 ahead of last June. There was a decline from May-21 of 211 posts but June is ahead of April-21.

    It seems the nice weather got us away from our screens and judging by looking out the window June might have been our Summer.... all aboard for December so!!! :)

    Thats an insane increase in posts for 6 months. Kinda surprised June was up, it seems to have quietened down a fair bit in here since Mid May or so. Even the current music thread is sluggish whereas all the others were pretty busy.

    Looking out the window at the rain chucking it down you might be right on the June = summer bit, though I have a feeling we've at least one more decent spell to come.

    June got off to a flyer, 70% of the posts for come came in the first half of June, the slow down came in the second half once the weather and the Euros got going.

    So it seems impossible to get my stats on the new site. So they’re on hold for now. I imagine stats are low on a list for priorities for boards.

    yeah I'd say there's a big black hole right around the middle of July that we may struggle to extract ourselves from. I know we were well ahead for the year up to that point but between the downtime & clear drop off in posts since the site returned that could be eaten up quickly. Though you never know, as the kids go back to school & peoples heads start turning towards christmas the pick up in here may gather a decent pace yet (fingers crossed anyway)
