Matt,

these numbers look impressive to me, but I am not sure what exacly they mean. I wonder how many different individuals view this forum per day/week/month. From your number it looks like it could be in the thousands per day or even ten thousands per week and month.
Looking at individual threads I can tell that just above 100 is the average 'view number' unless a thread gets lots of replies. I would have thought that this means tht there are just above 100 people looking at this forum and browsing the threads on a regular basis.
This cannot be true seeing your numbers. Now what is true?

Or to put it simple: What do you tell would-be advertisers here what their future exposure could be.

best regards
Walter Pall
