I'll be putting this in the appropriate forum later; engrained habits of members here sometimes necessitate that something be posted twice, rather than in just one forum once, for the widest possible exposure.
March 2011 was the biggest and busiest month ever, since the founding of conservativecave in late December 2007; the numbers from two, three, years ago are but a tiny fraction of what they've been the past several months, say, ever since mid-year last year.
October, November, and December 2010, and January and February 2011, had been outstanding, steadily lurching upward, but in March 2011 the numbers soared.
I have no idea how "big" conservativecave is, when compared with other web-sites. I suspect we're still pretty small, but better to be small and constantly growing, than to come in with a big splash and wither away.
It's obvious why this is happening, the constant growth of conservativecave. This place seems to attract a rather high quality of people, which is nearly all of the members.
Thank you!
For the record, bannings are rare here, and our statistics honest; unlike another site that shall not be named, once someone is banned, he is no longer counted among the registered members--the last time I checked, our number posted of registered members here is about 300 less than those who had actually registered here (and then later been banned).
For example, Pedro Picasso, once a member here and then later banned, is not counted.
Our numbers are good, in more than one way; both impressive in growth, and honest.
As with conservatives and Republicans during elections in blue cities and blue states, it's a constant battle to keep the numbers honest. January 2010, for example, on paper looks impressive, one of the "top months" (but nowhere near March 2011), but that had been artificially inflated by the invasion of search-engines from Red China, not real people; an invasion that was quickly countered by chris_, after which the Red Chinese don't show up in the statistics any more.
It's obvious our growth is real, not inflated.
One trend, fairly recent in origin, is that having three times, or more, "guests" than "members" here at any given time is more and more common; there was a time not so long ago when "members" present always outnumbered "guests." I assume this is good.
Members of conservativecave are on the cutting edge, the forefront, of a giant wave overwhelming the old America, the waning Age of Aquarius, the slowly-diminishing hippies and malcontents who have so successfully obstructed progress and prosperity the past 35+ years, when they first attained dominant political, social, and cultural power, becoming the "establishment," the "man."
They're the past (or rapidly becoming so); we're the future, and a good future it must inevitably be.
