On 14th April 2010 at 12:17pm Sydney time Bougy Fan made our 50,000th post here on AusBonsai.com.
50000th post.jpg
I am pleased to announce that our recent competition to guess the date and poster of the 50,000th post has been won by;

Closest date: Bougy Fan (who guessed the 15th April 2010 and coincidently made the 50,000th post)
Posting member: Was not guessed correctly

[Mr. Bougy Fan, please PM me your postal address so I can send you a little something.]

Here are a few AusBonsai.com statistics that may be of interest to you.

Since we launched on 7th November 2008 we have recorded:-
2,311,242 page views by 50,577 unique visitors. We are currently averaging 5,411 unique visitors each and every month. We have 1377 registered members of which an average of 192 members visit each day. Visitors have come from 139 different countries and 87% of all visitors come from Australia followed by United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, New Zealand, France, South Africa, Canada, Portugal then the Netherlands. It has also been pointed out to me that AusBonsai.com ranks #1 when 'bonsai forum' is googled worldwide or in Australia!

I have never bet on a horse race other than the sweep. Which I have one a few times. The first time was in 1965, :roll: :roll: what the bloody hell is a pom doing winning the sweep. :lol: :lol:

I was watching very closely Dayne. I actually thought you were going to be closer but the posting seemed to slow down last night. I think we are all winners with the shared info and experiences this site provides. Unlike teenagers I think all Bonsiaist's are very keen to learn from someone elses triumphs and disasters :lol:

Thank you Steven for providing such a wonderful forum, and to all members for making it an enriching experience by sharing and not jealously guarding their "secrets"
Regards Tony
