The power of the Board and e-mails on media

Speaking of the Mean Green, did you see that Scripps Howard columnist John Lindsay acknowledged the flood of email he got after he referred to the team as North Texas State? "But every game means something to a group of fans. You want proof? Try calling New Orleans Bowl-bound North Texas, North Texas State in print. We made that mistake and got bombed by angry e-mails from UNT alums."

Just FYI. I checked the webalizer stats today and in the month of November and we had 4,115,670 page hits. November was only surpassed by last September when we had 4,346,885 page hits.

"Hits" represent the total number of requests made to the server during the given time period (month, day, hour etc..).

Also for the month of November (2006) we had 1,794,638 file hits.

"Files" represent the total number of hits (requests) that actually resulted in something being sent back to the user. Not all hits will send data, such as 404-Not Found requests and requests for pages that are already in the browsers cache.

We also had 78,433 new user visits in November.

Visits occur when some remote site makes a request for a page on your server for the first time. As long as the same site keeps making requests within a given timeout period, they will all be considered part of the same Visit. If the site makes a request to your server, and the length of time since the last request is greater than the specified timeout period (default is 30 minutes), a new Visit is started and counted, and the sequence repeats. Since only pages will trigger a visit, remotes sites that link to graphic and other non- page URLs will not be counted in the visit totals, reducing the number of false visits.

I continue to be amazed at the traffic on this site! Keep it up!
