October turned out to be another record setting month for TBP. We had 562,000 visitors. This blew away the previous record of 537,000 in August. We had the highest single day visitor count of 35,000. We averaged 18,100 visitors per day. The October figure was 41% higher than last October. Year to date we are averaging 35% more visitors than last year.
There are a number of factors. I think the diversity of views, with Stuck, Hardscrabble Farmer and a number of other contributors, makes the site interesting and fresh. But, to tell you the truth, I think the surge in visitors is a true reflection of how bad things are getting in this country and the world. More people are realizing the mainstream media and their government are lying to them. They are seeking the truth in the alternative media.
I think this is a positive sign and will eventually lead to a tipping point for our society. I wish it weren’t true, but bad shit is coming our way and we better have our eyes open. In the meantime, realize that your commentary is being read by more and more people every day. We can change minds and hearts.
We will hit the 5 million visitor count on Tuesday. Yippee!!!!
Admin- I think that day after day of pounding home the fact that the MSM is synthetic news and throwing light on the fact that our political parties are a sham along with the “shitfest” atmosphere is bring in new viewers. They can feel it in their bones that it is all a lie, we are just confirming it for them.
Congrats admin…” I think the surge in visitors is a true reflection of how bad things are getting in this country and the world.” and i think you nailed…shit gettign real up in here.
When you’re reduced to championing a mentally ill man as woman of the year or as a feminist icon, you’re in the end phase of your movement.

@ Flash…I read the Z Man as well, and Ol’ Remus. Have you visited The Western Rifle Shooters Association site? What an innocuous sounding name for a far right wing place. I love it.
I forgot to congrat Admin for his milestone. This is a well put together place to go to…a good cast and virtually no rules, which is the way I like it.
A site I was a registered member of went all new agey and pussified (Webbot Forum), and another was taken over by feminazis and PC cunts (Life After The Oil Crash).
The way you handle this site, Admin, and also too the regular cohort of gladiators in this coliseum, I fear no evil.
18,100 visitors per day, and only 30 or so regular commenters. I done did some thinking on this and have formulated a hypothesis.
— 4% come to read Admin’s articles
— 3% come to read HF’s articles
— 2% come to read other’s articles
— 1% come to read my articles
— 90% COME FOR THE SHIT FESTS
Good job Admin , Stucky and the others who write or post new articles. This is by far my favorite website. Keep up the good work!!!
Congrats from a newbie to TBP, you have me hooked.
There are not more regular commenters because TBP virgins feel like they get screwed when their opinions are attacked. They do not understand the culture of the commentary. They cannot comprehend that most regulars are actually reasonable people. Often, they make the mistake, on a first visit, to personally attack admin or another commenter in the course of a debate, and what they get in return shocks them and they go away. I suggest that no newbie tries to enter the fray without reading posts and comments for at least 30 days. This is what I happened to do, so when I went through the standard initiation ceremony, I understood what was going on and stuck around.
Stuck
Don’t underestimate your readership. The 35,000 visitor day was from one of your articles.

Congratulations Jim. I have been a subscriber and follower of the ‘Platform’ since back in the bad old days of crappy software, malware and virus attacks, along with a large troop of trolls who attempted to co-opt each article.
I’ so glad you had the perseverance and fortitude to “stick with it” and find a way to get the word out. I come across TBP articles at other internet sites, at the oddest of places, because they know they are getting the unvarnished truth. Raw and in your face.
I most enjoy the commenting section, with all the differing POV’s when debating or discussing the merits of the many truthful tidbits. Unlike the commenting section of ZH that for years now has been the realm of sophomoric one liners and profane attacks upon anyone and everyone. With none to hardly any intelligent comments on the subject of the article!
Way to go gang!

Good work brings its own rewards, and TBP is proof. Good going, Admin and all who participate!

Aint no run of the mill trolls here, they are dismayed when they see the level they have to achieve to reach me, BW or bb.
Our one liners are carefully constructed and our personal attacks are superb; thrust and parry is the name of the game, noobs.
Admin, perhaps now is not the time to talk remuneration but me and bb could use an extra ration of kibbles, we’ve been working hard picking the cotton on this here plantation.
And don’t forget the rat chow for me
5 million visitors. And I’m guessing 30% of that in the last 3 months. Got a chart for that?
BW appeared 3 months ago. Coinkidink? I think not.
Congrats, Admin. Now if you could just find a better way to monetize that traffic……
Admin- If copfuks all looked like that crime would soar. Menz would be knocking off liquor stores and wait out front to be picked up by a couple of hot blonde officers.
Westy, you’ve been drinking too much of the Kardashian KoolAid. We can see Admin rubbing elbows with Kanye.
Just update the store, and the money will roll in. http://shop.donaldjtrump.com/
RE is green with envy no doubt.
Great job, Admin.
Now, if you could just get $0.02 per visitor for one month, you would meet your annual expense coverage goal.
Gotta hand it to you, you attract the cheapest bastards on the planet to TBP.
Llpoh
Most of these cheap bastards still have their lunch money from 3rd grade. 🙂
Greetings,
Hard work pays off.
There are at most three blog sites that I post on but TBP is by far my number one choice to throw in my .02 or to just pick a fight.
Keep up the great work.
5 Million, did you ever think you’d hit that number? Congratulations!
I’m not so sure if TBP virgins that are run off quickly are not really just trolls looking to toss some mud, but get the monkey shit beat out of them by the big dogs without mercy.
Otherwise the read for a few weeks before commenting is sound advise.
I found TBP after looking for info on the fourth turning and just the way things really worked in the media and government, this was back in the days of AWD and Smokey, holy shit, was that ever some fun reading. I bet it was six months before I dared make a comment, but that didn’t stop me from reading and trying to learn.
Jim, you and the regulars sure changed my mind and heart. Thank you for all you do, I can’t imagine how taxing it must be to keep pounding away not sure if you are doing any good or not.
Just goes to show that good work takes time.
Applause from my little corner of the USSA. Nice job admin.
Congrats Admin
I have been coming to this site for years. Love the shitfests. There have been a couple that were truly epic.
congrats jim, great place to see what my friends are up to. nothing better than the bldg 7 brawl.
It is a really good site. Are those Austrian cops? Stucky should be proud.
TBP is filling some need but Admin needs to be careful. If you get to good THEY won’t like it.
I like your site best, Admin sir. Thank you much. It you’re ever in the pgh area I would be pleased to meet you.
My wife says she wants to know what the hell it is I am laughing at so loudly from the office on the weekends. I’m not sure what to tell her…. if she read what we post here most days she’d be mortified. It would be simpler and easier to explain if she just caught me looking at porn… keep up he great work Jim.
congrats ) I will try to post more coherent thoughts since sss took me apart for my spelling the other day lol on the other hand im just a physco cook lol and when im on homebrew um well a nice ciante goes well with that !
Altho sss was correct my spelling is horrible actually .
Ive given a few people this site to look at , but I told them, before they post , they need to be ready to be taken apart if they don’t have solid facts or suffer the consequences !
Some posted and got ego hurt ! lol On the other hand there is such a wealth of information to the general public to be had here . SSS thank you for your correction on my spelling , my ego not involved actually , I know this is a weakness and strive so hard to write correctly ! I think the only way to reach people is to be able to adequately exspress yourself? I know what I wish to say ,but am rarely able to do so .I want to blame this on a privately owned central bank lol but I own this one )))))
Those Hot, part time, Polish ?? Girl ..{Copfuks aren’t all bad Admin} .. Keep em coming JQ I love this site & I donate…mike
Congrats Admin, Stucky, HSF, Mike in PA, and all the other regular contributors and commenters. This is probably the only site I follow where the comments are more interesting than the article.
Cash, checks or shiny stuff sent to:
Jim Quinn – P.O. Box 1520, Kulpsville, PA 19443
keeps the lights on and will give the Donate-O-Meter a head start for next year! Give till it hurts or at least until it squeaks!
Noobs, just cause you donate a buck or two does not mean you will get any special treatment here, if your ass needs reaming it will get a reaming, unless you like it, then you won’t get shit.
Sorry, everybody, I think you guys have been sugarcoating it, I don’t candy coat shit.
Congrats to all that participate and seek and tell the truth. People get on board one at a time, they talk to their friends and spread the word about a little blog that tells it like it is and that it is the shit. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. Excited to see this blog get bigger and more powerful in the days ahead.
How fabulous. So very, very, fabulous.
An alternative to the paid-for pablum of the controllers is growing in numbers, who’d have thunk it?
I followed JQ here when he was shouted off Seeking Alpha, and I’ve mostly never regretted it.
It has been a blast watching thoughts evolve, truth take hold, jumping in the fray.
Congrats, I’m glad I could do a small (very small) part to keep it going and spread the word that there IS truth available, if one turns away from the known and comfortable and allows new ideas in.
That is the absolute beauty of what you have created Jim.
