2012 has been a fantastic year for our community. We've grown considerably and had more community members involved than ever before! Great advances in HeroScribe have lead to Derfel Link creating many Icon Packs and Multiple Boards. Patroclus developed some great programs for making cards, quests and booklets. The forums are full of great cards created by members for everyone to use. Our gallery Artchives are swelling with artwork for members to use in creating their quests and cards. It's a good time to be (back) into HeroQuest!
File downloads for 2012 have increased 197%, and Website usage has increased 258%. We just about hit our Bandwidth limit for the first time ever in December.
Hopefully it's just due to Christmas and people getting new resources to add to their HeroQuest Christmas gifts. Since we've never even come close to hitting our bandwidth limits before, we have no idea what will happen. Some Websites just go offline until a new month starts, some just stay online and incur a hefty over-usage charge.
*fingers crossed*And now it's time for the annual stats!
