Well - November was busy - the most new members in a month since the oops-I-turned-off-guest-access-screw-up of early '05 - the most posts in a single month (4238) and Spirit and Opportunity forums are both about to break thru the Half-Million-Thread-View mark
Opportunity 499913 Spirit 494878 And the total is at 1.911 million thread views November was a good month generally - 18755 unique visitors (new record up from 13k in April '05 ) 47,877 visits (new record up from 33k last month) but maintaining a fairly steady bandwidth at just under 30 gig a month. It's all good  Doug |

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Dec 2 2005, 04:50 PM) Welcome back Doug, you have a lot to catch up on... James  Yes, I suggest reading the last 15-20 pages of the "What's up with Hayabusa?" topic. That Nov 24-25-26 thread of the final sampling attempt... with the bizarre automated translations, the running gag on accumulating Lipovan-D bottles, our own discovery about what Lipovan-D was, the possibility that the JAXA blogger was reading this forum and reacting to our comments, and our new members from Japan helping pass info and translate the official statements, etc. It was really an incredible, engaging all-nighter watching all that occurring! The suspense, the hilarity, the wonder! -RedSky |

Doug,
RedSky sums it up pretty well in my view. An interesting feature is that with members around the globe we maintain continuous coverage of specific events. In my case I had to leave the unfolding Hayabusa story alone for almost 20 hrs but when I checked in again it was all there - not a single gap in the storyline.

And, by the way, Doug -- we were talking about sending you an e-mail telling you that we had added a new board, AL1EN @BDUCTIONS (purposely mis-spelled here to avoid unwanted Googling), and that we had pulled in just a LOT of new members, and you ought to be proud of us for attracting new people...

As Redsky and Harder note, things went well and to a large extent that is due to the professionalism of the membership in addition to the atmosphere Doug has created. The unfolding Hayabusa story is one example, another is the mobile dust at Mogollon. Last week someone posted a tricolor image by Oppy, someone else noted that there was a depression in the dust, someone pointed out that the shape of the depression had changed over a week's time, and the drama developed from there. This is the group effort that makes UMSF work.
