Today, November 23rd, marks the one year anniversary of the vBulletin based Forums here on Lateral-g. Some of you may remember the freeware based forum that we had for a few months before that, but it just didn't do what I wanted it to do. So on November 23rd, I pulled the plug and we started over from scratch - zero members. To say we've had incredible growth could be an understatement.

Thanks goes out to all our members for making this a fun place to hang out. :thumbsup:

Congrats on making this a great site. It has to be a bunch of work and time involved. I just want to say "Thank You!" for the effort.

How many people hit this site on average in a week?

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoy it and hang out here. :) :lateral:

Payton, it's hard to break some of the numbers down into a week event, but I will tell you that so far, for the month of November, we're averaging over 400,000 hits per day and we had several days after SEMA where Lateral-g broke the half million hits per day mark. It's just crazy and it wouldn't happen without everyone here making this happen.

Congratulations Scott, As Jeff said, your dedication is what really makes the site what it is... I've met so many great people here that I might never have, otherwise...If a few days go by and I haven't visited the site for whatever reason(s), I get withdrawl symptoms! You have done a great job!! -Rob

Congrats Scott. So how long has it been since you had the first personal website? With like 10 pictures of your car and few of the little guy, he had to be less than a year old right?...I would say at least 4 years since I remember e-mailing you about that!

Long time...and a long way since then.

Thanks for everything you provide us.

Great work Scott. It's good to see there's a place for friends around. You do realize I've seen better sites, right? I mean, not every site can have boobies everywhere though.....

Congrats Scott.

"Officially" new to the site, but have been lurking for quite some time.
The information provided by your format has saved me countless hours of research already.

It's always great when an entrepreneur takes the plunge and makes it !!
Great Job. :hail:
