This Monday sees the 3rd birthday of 306oc! In that time we have had some ups and downs, and we've have dum dum but mostly, its all been good! I was looking at some of the stats the other day and it made me realise just how quickly we have grown as a club in such a short period of time. So to give you an idea, in 3 years we have...
Made 493,000 posts over 27,000 threads.
We've had almost 5000 members sign up
There is 20gb of photos stored on our server (which is over 20,000 photos)
There has been over 500gb of downloads from our site.
Are currently averaging 300 posts a day (most of which is probably Tom or Piggy  )
I'm sure you can understand why we are moving to a new server on Friday!
I would like to say thanks to all our staff for the help they put in with keeping this place running and tidy.
So, thanks all for making this club such a great place and i look forward to another year of banter, great shows, putting up with dum dums persistent moaning and more epic cars!

To be fair, the member base wasn't exactly started from scratch, a lot of us were on another forum previously.
That said, this is probably still the most active forum I'm on, and the one where I post most despite not even owning a 306 anymore lol. Reckon we can make it up to 500,000 posts before the end of the year.

Is there an average amount of time spent on the forum per member? Multiply that by the number of users?

You can't really average it easily either. I just tried it with the top 10 posters to get an idea...but Piggys got more posts than me and only spent a 3rd of the time online!

your telling me! I think the last new thread is posted about a month ago now, I have come off there now sadly, as there hasn't been any new threads started up, and it can be nearly weeks for a reply on some of the threads.
I can see it folding up sadly.

Surely its birthday, the date it was born, the date it was created was yesterday as it was 27th November that Fooby and Scott created this place. They didn't publicly announce the birth to more than a select few people till a fews later.
Anyway Happy Birthday little forum, my how you've grown over these few years. Still, only 13 more years and your legal

The date which people were invited to sign up was the 1st so in my mind, thats the day it was born but you're right, technically it was yesterday

Happy birthday oc!! Can't believe 3 years has gone by!! One thing I have noticed though is that the "max users online" hasn't changed since 2012. Maybe we should try to top it on Monday evening
Well done to all the staff and supporters for making this club what it is. Says a lot when members move on from the 306 but still stick around!!!

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the max users online. Its not a true representation of people online unfortunately.
