For those of you who may be interested, I try to share some of our community statistics on a quarterly basis. As we just closed the first quarter of the year, here is what Google Analytics says about where we stand quater-over-quarter.

The solid blue line represents this year with the dotted line representing last quarter. To me, what matters is positive progress rather than what the actual number is. Onward and upwards is what I think matters for a community.
As you can see, we are up triple digits in each of the key categories shown. Certainly, some of that is due to Asian AI bots that are gobbling up the Internet in an attempt to ingest data for their models. However, even accounting for that, we are up in "human" visitors and I hope you can feel that.
As always, I want to send you a personal "THANK YOU" for being a valuable member of our growing community. I hope you find this community valuable to you in your planted aquarium journey.
Let's continue to carry our mission and community together.
All the best,
Art
