Racketboy's 2010 Growth and Looking Forward to 2011

[racketboy]

2010 was another great year for the site

Here's some highlights:
- The overall number of individual visitors to the site grew 20% compared to 2009
- The number of pageviews grew 30% compared to 2009
- While the RB podcast started in late 2009, it really grew in many ways throughout 2010
- Traffic on the forum increased nearly 60%
- The store has gone from 13 to 37 products and increased traffic 40%

I can't thank you all enough for all your support and for spreading the word about the site

2011 should be very exciting -- things I'm looking forward to:

- A new site design is due out in a week or so and should modernize the front page and overall look of the site. (I know some of you old-schoolers like the current design and the old forum template will always be available as an option)
- I'm hoping to expand the store more with some more retro items and hopefully, some t-shirts (finally)
- some other cool developments that I can't really speak of yet should help this place out too -- stay tuned!

You talk to me about tshirts, I can get you a good deal

Within the past year i've been getting back into gaming. Whenever i would search for something gaming related it would usually lead me here and answer most of my questions.
Really enjoy the website and the forum community! Great job!

Racketboy T-Shirts!!! I would totally get one!

If you need some designs for shirts, my GF actually does that professionally. She freelances pretty cheaply for people we like, so let me know if you need an artist.

Does she have a portfolio of designs?

Looking forward to the new stuff. Hopefully the daily hiccup just after midnight will be going away too.

That is when the magic happens, though.

Hey Racket, quick question about those new items in the store. One of those wouldn't happen to be jewel cases or parts of jewel cases, would it?

I ask because I've got quite a few PS1, Dreamcast, and PC games with stickers stuck all over them or with cracks all through the front covers. They look terrible, and I'd love the opportunity to replace them. I also know I can't be the only one interested in doing so.

Eh, just a thought.

Awesome, glad to hear the community and popularity has increased, but you really didn't have to say anything for me to know that I've noticed the boards light up much more often than before and by more new people.

I'd like to say thanks for providing an awesome place to come to and deal with everything gaming, and thanks to the many people on the B/S/T forums that have completed many stress-free transactions.
