Title: Re: Where are our Members From? Post by Voodoo Chile In Wonderland on May 8th, 2008 at 10:49pm
These are the 60 top countries for this month. From May 1 to some minutes ago
This is for both, our website and the message board, some weeks ago we had all the entries to the message board in the novogate.com domain. Now with the message board hosted on the domain rocksoff.org we are receiving a lot of new visitors, that means that many of you only visit the message board and not the website. The biggest impact of course is in page views more than any other parameter, for only one reason, anytime you visit a thread you make a "page view" |

Title: Re: Where are our Members From? Post by Voodoo Chile In Wonderland on May 8th, 2008 at 10:52pm
I will post the same graphic when we end the first month with the board hosted on rocksoff.org, I'm sure it will change a lot in the bottom countries.
Curious is the amount of visitors we have from China and Japan, and the few post we have from them, well we don't have one actually. So lurkers from the far east say hi, please! |

Title: Re: Where are our Members From? Post by Voodoo Chile In Wonderland on May 8th, 2008 at 11:03pm
I just checked back the logs and they changed a lot, Argentina is now the second... let's wait till the end of the month. I don't want to take April as a sample as we moved from novogate on April 14 so it won't be representative :pullanolte

yes..I second that...it would be great if they registered and did exactly that I've noticed in the last few days new people registering from places like Russia, Ukraine, Estonia and India - although only one or two have posted. Quite incredible to see that we've visitors from many countries where you wouldnt imagine the Stones would be well known or popular - such as Pakistan, UAE, Vietnam, France ( ;D ) Dont be afraid to say hello - after all most of us Brits and Americans dont speak English that great either! :booze |

I'm not an expert but have seen the Stones in several States of the USA, in Mexico, Monterrey and Buenos Aires and it's NOT "A nice place" it's "the best place" to see the Stones. Nice text below your avatar; I know you're NOT new, now tell us your status: "Old" or "Used" ;D ;D ;D Great to have some "banqueteros" making the transition :pullanolte :weed :booze |

If'n ya go to the good ol' US of A (Corgi especially), there is a commonwealth called Sweet Virginia, and in particular, a county in northern Sweet Virginia called Fairfax County:
That's where I live. Fairfax county borders Washington, DC: Washington, DC is a fairly small city compared to others in the US. It has a lot of parks and no building in the city (other than the Washington Monument) can be taller than like 11 stories - so no skyscrapers: Fairfax County Virginia is famous for many reasons. Like George Washington lived in the Southern part of the county: http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=78203&rendTypeId=4 I live in a very wooded section of Fairfax County near the Potomac River: Being so close to DC, there are relatively few rednecks in this part of Virginia: (Joey?) Driving in this area is tough. I mean seriously stupid people driving too fast all of the time: Come on Come on down Sweet Virginia Come on Come on down I beg of you Come on Come on down You got it in ya Uh huh Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes |

So, that's at least 2 of us living in Virginia. Cool, Nanky... 8-) It's nice up there, but you're right--lots of traffic! Pricey too, but nicely elegant... :) I live outside of Richmond, which is basically a good place to live---quite affordable, even in these trying times... :-/

Yeah kind of. The last photo is one the very few mills remaining in the area. Its is the same as the cemetery scene in the Deer Hunter. Clairton PA. Correction---The mill secene was used in the Deer Hunter, but it was not the cemetery scene. |
