Hits are such a poor way to measure web traffic. Visitors and unique visitors are much more accurate. A hit on a website is on any file that is called from the server. Let's say this page has 10 images, 2 javascripts, 1 css file, and a php file; that would be 14 hits for this page alone, greatly misrepresenting how much traffic comes to this site when measured in hits.

That's insane, I've heard of hit counters like that, but in over a decade of web development and administration I've never seen a counter behave like that.

I quoted the word hits for a reason and I didn't say it was a good measure of web traffic, but its the only one I have available since we used three hosts during 2010 and I no longer have access to the good stats from the original host.

The counter here increments by one whenever a .php file is loaded from the server. Hit F5, counter goes up by one if you are on the site and not a file. Click a link on the forums, counter goes up by one. Etc ... it doesn't count graphics or CSS files or db queries, nothing like that. It's a very simple counter. There's also a mod I can that tracks each unique IP, but I think it slows the site down so not worth it to me.



The amount of hits don't matter to me all that much, but I like stats so I do check them out from time to time for grins.

Maybe this has something to do with the dropoff?

What does Bounce Rate mean?

And yes, the site has been noticeably laggy the past couple of days.

I made a change to the file so we'll see if it loads quicker, if not, I'm gonna ditch it all together as it's not that important.

If you're looking for more "hits," just post another poll with insufficient options to vote on and I'd be glad to ''hit' you! :facepalm:

Cheesy has been slacking lately so I thought I'd attempt to fill in for him.

dfosterf (3h) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes
Zero2Cool (4h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon
dfosterf (4h) : Can't find the toggle, lol
dfosterf (4h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (4h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (4h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (5h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (5h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (5h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (5h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (5h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (5h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (5h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (5h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (5h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (5h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (5h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (5h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (5h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (6h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
dfosterf (6h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
dfosterf (6h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (6h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (12h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
