One year ago I retired AbsolutePunk.net and launched Chorus.fm into the world. I can’t believe it’s been a year. First, I want to thank everyone that’s supported the website for a full year and all of you that kept monthly payments on and re-signed up today with a new yearly subscription. Seriously, thank you. I had no idea if this entire endeavor was ever going to work, and all of the support has truly blown me away. I’ve loved getting to know so many of you over the past year and being able to share this experience with you. Again, I can’t tell you thank you enough.
One year in I figured is as good a time as ever to run down some of the numbers from the last 12 months:
- 5,145 articles posted on the main site.
- 1,004,735 words written in those articles.
- 895,137 forum posts.
- 34,766 registered forum members.
- 891,056 likes given out.
- 2,000 private messages sent per month (average).
- 27 podcast episodes recorded (and 3 bonus episodes).
- Over 160,000 podcast listens.
- 83,035,328 pageviews.
- A 6:40 average session time.
- 13 “first listen” blogs in the supporter forum.
- 365 days where I was happy with the choice I made.
