The year marches on and it’s time to take out the carcass of February.

Here’s our monthly review of where the site’s going and what people are coming here for. February, like January, is traditionally a slow month, so it’s been a big effort to keep things moving along and the readers seem to have responded well.

Key Stats:

Visits: 125,941, up from 115,876
Pageviews: 380,458, up from 343,570
Absolute unique visitors: 48,009, up from 45,678

(Note: February being a short month these statistics compare the 28 days of February to the last 28 days of January)

Housekeeping:

While I’ve got you here a few house-keeping announcements.

If you’re one of the tens of thousands of Canberrans enjoying reading RiotACT perhaps you should consider supporting us? You can just make a donation if you so choose.

Alternatively you could take out a premium subscription, and get the much sought after RiotACT pin, as well as some improved functionality from the site.

If you have goods or services to advertise you can advertise with us.

Failing that Facebookers can just become a fan. We like fans.

Fun stuff:

So the 20 most read stories on RiotACT in February were:

    1. World does owe you a living
    2. I don’t want to lose my licence.
    3. Rental free rooms in exchange for sex?
    4. The Domino’s Car Surfers
    5. Jumper at National Capital Hospital
    6. Culture Jamming goes too far with drug laced lollies at MacDonalds?
    7. Underbelly, Al Grassby, and Canberra.
    8. Speeding fine at Road works near Pialligo roundabout
    9. The cute WIN reporter is?
    10. Immune system topples like dominos after bad pizza
    11. No exemption for the private school rowers – and still they went on
    12. Midnight Oil first comeback gigs here in Canberra
    13. Riot advice sought on an unwelcome car
    14. Valentines Day rip off?
    15. Canberra firies off to Victoria
    16. Should something be done about traded Nazi gear in Canberra?

JB – State of the riot for Feb 2009 – Just thought I would point out that it says So the 20 most read stories on RiotACT in January were:

How are we going with jam, does anybody know?

As of right now, a google search of “boogers in library books” doesn’t bring any hits to RiotACT up. I’m sure that will change soon.

I’m very much hoping, for the reputation of RIOTACT, that “boogers in library books” doesn’t make it into the Top 20 for March…

Now there’s a challenge …

I like you better than Samuel Gordon Stewart, Skidbladnir!

: )

“trivia in the trams” made it to 46!

Woo hoo!!

For those Rioters that turned up last night that I didn’t get to meet, please come back again as I would love to meet you! Overheard tried to find you to introduce me, but it was too late.

59. “interested in buying it outrightly”

For some reason this is funny.

So, Skidbladnir, what do you know about wasps?

My stalkers are only interested in wasps, and I am less popular than Samuel Gordon Stewart. 🙁
