With only a couple of days left in this year it's about to time to publish our own "looking-back-at-2010" thing. So here goes...

  • Althought the shoutbox was already introduced in November 2009, in 2010 full-page version was launched as well as the option to send private shouts. This year we all shouted approximately 142,000 times.
  • We appointed two new forum mods (Brett Religion and Some Guy), who are doing a great job!
  • We made a deal with Brett to have our news show up on badreligion.com.
  • For a while thebrpage.net was the website that was linked to on Bad Religion's facebook.
  • We did a couple of exclusive interviews with both Jay (Amsterdam) and Greg Graffin (Dortmund).
  • "Goggle-gate"
  • Sometimes the forum looked like the Fishtank (which was also thanked in the liner notes of TDOM... I *think* it's Jay referring to thebrpage)
  • Thebrpage joined the Twitter hype and currently has ~2,550 followers.
  • Unexpectedly Bobby started giving input on a lot of missing and incorrect shows in our Tours & Shows section. Apparently his knowledge of past tour schedules is pretty extensive. @Bobby, if you read this.. Thanks again!
  • Totally unexpectedly, the "broken picture telephone game" became a huge success in the forum. There are already 14 rounds!
  • n1ckb0n3z finally managed to move up the n00b scale and got a new member title.
  • Brett commented several times on news stories (mostly related to the new album)
  • HugeFanOfBadReligion's hair was unveiled to masses and some weeks ago announced that he is on a mission to find out if there's any truth to the last entry in this The Answer article. Could that be the reason his presence in the shoutbox has noticeably dropped? He will give us a pornshout as soon as he is done. Torbar has also joined him in this quest.
 


Some facts and figures:

Northernmost visitor: 1) Norway: Vadso (70°04′35″N)
2) Norway: Lakselv (69°25'60N)
Southernmost visitor: 1) Argentinia: Ushuaia (54°48′S)
2) Chile: Punta Arenas (53°10′S)
Highest # of visitors in one day: September 21: 3466 visits / 1937 visitors
# of forum posts: ~33,500
# of forum threads started: ~1,150
# of new shows added to our archive: 123
# of news items: 80
# of comments added to news items: 3,350
# of song interpretations added: 131
# of show/tour images added: 800
# of people who registered: 684


Overall, 2010 was a pretty successfull year in terms of numbers:

  2010
 2009
Visits: 472,920 256,316
Unique visitors: 118,183 81,593
Page views: 2,888,917 1,503,836

And, of course, a big thanks goes to out to all our visitors; both those who speak up and those who remain silent. Without you there wouldn't be a Bad Religion Page.

 


Extra tidbit - Here's the recap of 2009.

No...you lost out to basically the 2 southernmost inhabited places (apart from the research station at the south pole). IP trickery? Seems suspect, as there was a very noticeable change in southernmost latitudes from last year.
I'm confused.
I'm still confused
kari's saying Google's fucked up.
Now I'm extra googly confused. :S

Total visits.
i also miss users from the highest and lowest places on earth (in altitude i mean).
well eindhoven will probably end up as the lowest, and at the same time as the "highest"...
As a matter of fact, I tried looking for that kind info this morning. But as far as I know there's just no way to get that info from Google Analytics. Altitude I mean.

And bueno aņo, 2010! Thanks to the mods, the members (vets and n00bs alike), the band (special recognition for Jay!), and Jesus. Just kidding about Jesus.

BR highlights of the year for me, in no particular order:
* Goggle-gate / meeting Jay at 3 shows
* Meeting Brooks
* Meeting Alice / Borby / Torbar / n1ckb0n3z / TankSmoke / JohnVicious / Keehvren / etc
* TDOM
* First BR show in my hometown in over 20 years (Baltimore)
* 30 Years Live
* 2 NYC shows (80s & 90s)
* Hearing Billy Gnosis live
* Hearing Hear It live for first time
* Learning to play around 10 new BR songs on guitar
* Anarchy Evolution
* BOX SET
