A sign that Jazz is growing

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

Prompted by Magoo's thread that Jazz is dying, I thought that maybe this would change a few thoughts of people.

As this shows, J2o is constantly growing getting more and more visits each month. March there were 575 visits a day on average. And you say Jazz is dead. :P

[FireSworD]

Great! if Jazz is growing then i'll have more adversaries to beat! :D

kewl

[MaGoo]

Well, I can't argue opinion with fact now can I? *Secretly deletes his opinion-based thread* :P

[FireSworD]

But why is it growing so much now? why is there so much interest in Jazz2 now?

[Tik]

My only question is how many of those hits are from thinking this is a music-jazz site. Other than that, uber spiffy.

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

Actually on the search thing for the page, there are only like 12 things and most are for jazz jackrabbit or something related, none for jazz music :P

[FoD]

Now if only you had a chart for people playing Jazz. That would make seeing believing. This is the site. I play Jazz2 VERY rarely, but I visit the site. It means nothing.

[Krezack]

Not to mention spiffy juice.....many hits could be from that.

Heh JCF is live and kicking, JJ2 is dead and rotting =P

[White Rabbit]

Just because J2o gets more visitors doesn't mean JJ2 is growing. The ppl visiting it might be the same ppl and not new ones.

Get it? :P

[defalcon]

Well, if it is the same people it means they're visiting more fequently - a sign of growing interest.

[CannibalBob]

That is true, according to the stats, but are they hits as a total or hit per user? Some people may visit J2O more because it's the only reliable and GOOD Jazz2 site out now, so they visit it more often to check news, downloads, reviews and post stuff they made.

[Another Jazz 2 fan]

Hey, I visit it daily now, sometimes more than once! I didn't used to get online as often in the past. (Back when I had to use the phone line. Now we have cable!) Of course, I'm just one in many. Is anyone else visiting more frequently now?

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

A hit itself is just a request from the server for a file. So images, zipped files are all hits. With all the images on an HTML page you get a lot of hits from one visit.

[Another Jazz 2 fan]

So then it could be just me. :lol:

[WMCoolmon]

Hmm...I really started visiting J2O in February/March... :D

That's why you gotsa check the log to see who's visiting, where they came from, and how many time's they've visited. That's a better way to see if it's growing.

You should put on a counter hidden on the main page that counts unique hits.

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

That's what the visit column is for :P

[..::Goldy::..]

wow, never knew so many people visited j2o, nice to know :)

[ShadowGPW]

Interesting.. :P

[Unhit]

Nice. I already wondered if there isn't anything like that.

[dopeh]

or someone is just spamming around and is refreshing the whole time :P could be another possibility or whatever. heh. nah well, a good sign I suppose not?

[Tik]

Oh, BTW, spiffyjuice is pretty small, probably only a couple thousand of those raw hits (if it includes every single file and image, etc) are from spiffyjuice. SJ also only gets about 500 hits a week, so it would have very little to do with that counter.

[Unhit]

Are IPs or clicks counted?

[dopeh]

there's the one they are using.

[Krezack]

Maybe......anyway the jj2 community will survive, not many.....*prepares to be flamed* crappy games survive this long. I mean crappy because compared to the many other games it IS crappy....thats not to say it isn't fun.

[Ninja]

Lets all honor Krezack for being the person having the most "crappys" in a post!
YaY!
Happy birthday to j00 happy birthday to U happy b-day dear mother-chunka-holic happy birthday to YOU!

[Krezack]

Fix the html in your sig.

[Lama]

Assuming the answer to Unhit's question is going to be yes, how many unique IPs are there? That should be a good* measure of the number of different people that visit the site.

*good does not mean perfect or exact

[FireSworD]

Ok, ok i admit i have a habit of going back and fourth from the JCF and J2O i... I like to check out both sites at the same time :D :P

[Atmcdragon]

AH Fiddlesticks, and me without my CD

[The March Hare]

I know why the visit counts were so high in February/March. Those were the months when I visited like crazy. And then I stopped in April. See? The visit counts obviously follow my visiting habits. So you can thank ME for such high numbers.

I'll be signing autographs in the Misc. forum.

Be there or else.

:D

[Unhit]

Hmm...even if different IPs were counted, about five visits a day would be by me. Because I don't have a flatrate or something, I often log in for short times- but still check J2O ;P!

[4I Falcon]

even though i can't play jj2 anymore 'cuz of mah shoopid compy...

... *kicks computer* DIE YOU MONKEY!...ahem...

i still come to j2o to see if there's anything new, which there is... a lot...
