I usually don’t pay attention to the site stats on an all-time basis, but I noticed today that the TBP page views went over 70 million today. And that is just on this version of TBP. The 2009 through 2013 version had a much smaller audience, but that was when I got some national attention (Bannon, Cavuto, Beck). Over 1 million comments and at least half of them didn’t include an expletive.
The monthly and yearly stats show an interesting story too. WordPress marks May 2014 as the highest page views in history. That was the month of the massive denial of service attack that almost ended TBP. But Mike Kreiger and TMWNN rode to the rescue and saved the site. You can see 2021 is already the highest ever, with over a month to go. Bad times are good for TBP. I’m sure we’ll have highest page views ever right before the nuclear missiles hit, and then darkness.
It’s been an interesting ride. I wouldn’t say fun, but certainly enlightening. We’ll see how long we can keep it going.
