Into The Forrst

Stats!

Everybody likes stats, so here are some neat/awesome/boring stats about Forrst.

Since launching about 14 months ago:

• 31,000 registered users, 40% of whom are active each month (and that’s more than just logging in)
• nearly 90,000 posts across four types (code, screenshots, links, and questions)
• 350,000 comments
• 17,000 folks waiting for an account (something we’re working on reducing, e.g. with GitHub-powered signup)
• almost 1 million pieces of content liked
• between 50 and 100 people request an invite every day
• 640 paid accounts
• we grew by 1,200 users in January 2011; we grew by 2,700 users in June 2011

It’s been awesome to see Forrst grow from literally nothing into the awesome community it is today, and we’re all seriously excited about what’s next for us.
