We're now up to 125! Bigger than I thought, but it has been growing
steadily. New people are coming all the time. The web site is up to about
1000 page downloads a week. The best week for the web site was the second
week of January, with 1101 pages downloaded. (that number seems more useful
than total hits, which includes graphics, error messages, etc.) Looper's
has only been alive about 5 months now, so the growth has been pretty
impressive. Especially since I've never really done much to promote it. So
hey, tell a friend....

I think this is a fantastic idea! This whole thing lives by users thinking
up new ideas and jumping in to get them done. I love it, it's made Looper's
a million times better than I could ever do myself. Please go right ahead
and do this, Ed. You have my permission to freely coerce and cojole others
into helping you out too. :-)

thanks,

kim
