So that was November
Here’s our monthly review of where the site’s going and what people are coming here for. A four day weekend at the start of the month did us no favours and there was a lack of elections, murders, retail outlet openings, or building collapses.
Well you can’t win them all.

Also for all the nerds here’s the breakdown on web-browsers used to read us:
- Internet Explorer 56.44%
Firefox 31.39%
Safari 8.34%
Chrome 1.73%
Opera 1.22%
And operating systems:
- 1. Windows – 84.85%
2. Macintosh – 12.02%
3. Linux – 2.13%
4. iPhone – 0.59%
5. iPod – 0.12%
6. SymbianOS – 0.11%
7. SunOS – 0.03%
8. Playstation 3 – 0.02%
9. Danger Hiptop – 0.02%
(There were also a few visits from the Nintendo Wii, PalmOS and PSP but too few to make the percentages. Also our first ever two hits from the Android platform!).
Discuss….
Enough to know why the change in what happened Kramer thanks. I’ll just leave the thread until at home on FF3. Although I’m sure JB has done something worthy of such penance…
Agreed, Jb should type until his fingers are worn down into bloodied stumps for the good of the Riot!
Kramer said :
Seing though there is 56.44% and we out number… YES!!!!!! :-p
@primal re #259:
I forget half of the original ones, but Narrabundah involved using one person to install new one, and the other people all sat around trying to get high off the gas contained in the old one.
259. how many does it take to change a lightbulb at narrabundah
Well? Anyone?
Gungahlin Al said :
In the previous ones JB has manually entered all of the numbering/ordering in plain text, whereas this month he has relied on the technology of an ordered list – which IE does not like for some reason…
JB – Feel like manually numbering 500 entries for our IE users? OK, I thought not. I’ll investigate further with Messrs Gates & Ballmer.
Both “nightclub sex” and “night club sex”…
And “ferret cruelty” is in there, before the names of the two offenders…
Pimp my police car?
Appears that Kenja are checking for any rude comments, too.
Yep, but the October (and previous ones) display error free…?
IE 6.0.2900 suffers the same problem.
(Yes, I know it sucks, I hate it too, but I’m stuck with it if I want to eat)
Gungahlin Al said :
I’d say you were running IE7.
I get the same here running IE7, but I don’t get it running Firefox.
If you come along to a RiotACT event, I will probably have introduced myself by the time you’ve bought me a pint.
Tell ‘im he’s dreaming… 🙂
Can’t…follow…thread…numbers…not…showing…arrgghh.
Looks like Jonathon’s got a stalker or 2.
Hint:
If you come along to a RiotACT event, I will probably have introduced myself by the time you’ve bought me a pint.
Score, this time around I rank 180.
My stalker is getting passionate, or there are now more of them.
Anyone in the market for cheap tarts, the Brother’s Oven at Tuggeranong don’t do a bad one, just don’t expect fast or good service.
Skidbladnir said :
Bwahahahahaha! If I was I’d at least have taken note of all the past comments regarding my dress sense! I’m only a handful of searches away from her on the list though.
I’m actually surprised ‘Canberra Brothel’ came in last on the list.
Maybe all the talk of Cheap Tarts and Porn Stars in a recent thread will draw more such searchers to RA now.
Skidbladnir said :
Nah, he’s Elkie.
“And the five highest ranked search terms which brought people to RiotACT in July were…”
That list isn’t five items long.
Also, for some reason there are no numbers at all on that list for me…
@Berryaboy:
BerraBoy68 said :
I knew it! You’re Jessica Wright!
MMmmm… Someone’s been looking for me here too using my real name. Should I be alarmed and alert or just flattered?
Well those are bona-fide stalkers. And stalkers are absolute wankers, as any fule kno.
