November served just under 10 million page views (9,771,444) to an average of 59,126 unique daily users (up from 56,610 last month). The monthly total users amounted to a total of 1.7 million visitors (1,773,785).

Referrers who drove thousands of visitors to the site were... And many many many thanks to everybody else and my Featured Feed partners who drove traffic to the site.

For December, you should expect a major update to the Nav2.0 platform that this site runs on and the Figure.fm renewal. Towards the end of the month you will have comike and figure coverage of the World Hobby Festival.

Quick question - are the weekly roundups useful? If not then I will stop them as sometimes I feel like I'm stuffing content down users throats which is not a good thing.

Myself personally, don't use it cause I come here too often. Thus its just like watching repeats on TV. However, casual readers may want to check in. Another thing though is that you've got alot more content per week than before, so its HUGE. Huge like China.

Yeah, I kinda agree with the earliest comment.

I don't read the News Items much, but I catch the Blog Posts often enough that I just skim the Roundups and Stats. 

Then again, other readers might prefer them more than I. ^_^;

I agree with Gordon, but I am sure they are very useful to a lot of users stopping by. Not everyone visits every day and might like seeing a repost instead of trying to go back through the list themselves. Plus, it gives those of us who contribute frequently an idea of how the community is growing and developing. Plus, people love graphs and stats. Or, stagraphts if you prefer. Still cant wait until the site gets big enought to buy stocks of. Ill be the first one to buy!

I don't really use the Weekly Roundup since I'm mostly up to date with your posts. ^^ But besides that I can also read the newest post and then use the links at the bottom of your post to navigate to older posts.

I try to update to every post and comment until the post becomes obsolete. I then don't need to read roundups. As simple as that.

congratulations on your noember stats Danny.
about the weekly roundup, it does help if some of your visitors don't come in everyday. however IMHO it might be best not to include the news items to speed up loading time.
