The Canary is one talkative dude! Bubblegum is no slouch, but he's got some ground to make up in 2010. The stats breakdown indicates that approximately 63.7% of Jibbles' comments were Jibbled. Impressive. I'm also pretty sure that brings Jibbles' total comments between here and Mirtle's page to a little over 4 trillion. The above doesn't include Beachie's alternate personalities either. I don't have the exact number, but I'm fairly certain there were something on the order of ten thousand "When is the rest of the top 19 list coming?" comments last year too. I'd also like to point out the absence of anyone with the letter-random number-more letters username in the above list. What I mean is, SeeSixWhores, I expect to see you on this list next year.

I think the number of stories has dropped because of the increase in Fanposts and Fanshots. With the increase of new members who have quality posts, more Fanposts/Fanshots have been pushed to the front page. When those post are of the good/great quality as many have been, there no reason for Mike, DDC, Joe (when he stops in from walk about) to make another post about the same subject. Plus it gives us more of an “ownership” feeling for the sight.

I thought I was cool until I read mirtles comments, and Jibbles pointed out that some baseball yaywho has 31k. And some other guy on a hockey site has 60k+ in a year or so. Then I realized, maybe I AM cool, and that’s why I have a life and can’t comment 24hrs a day.
Well, that’s what I get for thinking anyways.
Thanks for the stats.

Mods, folks who run the site, anyone else who has any thoughts -
- to what do you attribute the rather large jump in commenting/participation? Comments almost tripled, fan posts/fan shots increased, and it seemed to happen during a bust, not boom, for the team. The Avs aren’t exactly on a Caps-like run here, so I don’t think the increase is from folks jumping on the “hey this team is so freaking great, let’s all talk about them” bandwagon.
I have a guess about the comments: seems like the game threads have gone bonkers with a lot more inside chitchat that’s not necessarily game related. Which is OK with me, just an observation – seems more festive than in the past, more joking, teasing, etc.
Have you noticed a jump in traffic, or unique visitors, or however it is you measure if your site’s growing in popularity? And why do you think the site’s flourished in the past few years? I can’t remember exactly how I found this site, but I’m so glad I did – what a great, smart alternative to the generally mediocre MSM coverage.

Joining SBNation had a lot to do with it, I think. I can’t remember when that first happened, but I imagine it is a part of it. More users=more traffic=more posts & comments.

I think your last sentence says it all.
what a great, smart alternative to the generally mediocre MSM coverage.
That’s how I first got into the whole avs blog thing, with MHH, Jibs, and ITCS. It took a few to find the ones I liked, but i was just plain sick of hearing the same tired old crap day in day out. If it wasn’t a cliche it was puppy dogs and sunshine being blown up my ass. I think the word is getting out, especially with the increasingly rapid decline in newspapers, that there is some good stuff out there to be had.
No offense to any other blogs out there, but I find this to have some of the best quality, and also the most frequent update of material. If a website isn’t updated, doesn’t have more than a new post every week or two, or has no active commentary (in an easy to comment format) I eventually lose interest, even if I check back occasionally. I’m not sure about the jump in the last year, cuz it does seem to be pretty huge, but w/o being a moderator I can only guess at that. If your curious the home page here has a site tracker that has some interesting stats. pretty far down on the left I think.

to Dan:
our traffic is definitely up. we’re averaging 3 to 4 times more traffic a month over the previous year. This month we’ve already topped what we did in Jan ‘09 trafficwise and we’re only 11 days in.
We do have an increase in members. I don’t have the link any more that Mike is working off of, but we had a lot of new members come aboard last year. That definitely increases traffic.
Appreciate the props from you guys. We definitely have a “if you build it, they will come” approach, in that we focus much more on providing timely and insightful content on a regular basis and less on promoting the blog. I still have memories of going onto the Avs official cesspool of a forum to promote ITCS in the early days, and don’t every want to do that again. ever.
That all being said, SBN has done a great job of getting us traffic our stories linked on places like Yahoo sports and stuff. Puck Daddy will link to us fairly often as well, which gives us a boost as well.

I was at a party with some college friend who are huge Capitals and Penguins fans respectively. They said they don’t know much about the Avalanche but they watched Duchene and were blown away. At least his skill is transcending coasts.
