Bitmob & and The Three Months

Many of you all will be confused by the title.  Some of you all will understand where I am going with this.  So in saying that lets take a stroll down memory lane over the past three months.

The first post on this site was May 6th by none other then Dan "Shoe" Hsu since he is one of the Co-Founders.  How ever the site didn't officailly launch till May 7th when some of us found out and helped spread the word.  So all good things get leaked before a public announcement and this could be one of the best for me.

In the last three months there is over 129 Pages worth of submissions.   If there is 15 submissions on each page that means there is over 1920 submitted articles.  Which Breaks down to 640 articles every month and if you break that by 30 which means more then 21 articels a day.  This is a lot of submissions.  So I thank every Member for the time and effort they have put into this site.  Even if you haven't written anything and just commented.  Did you know this site has over 10000 comments all ready.  I wont break down the numbers for you, but that is four comments every hour.  

This site all ready has done many things. Like the Monkey Pawbay area meet-up and pixel revolt. What makes this better then every other site is the involvement of the community.  This is what Demian Linn does best as the other co-founder which is to highlight the great articles people written and post them on the front page.  If I had to take an educated guess over 90% of Demian's post are highlights of the communities work.  A Hat off to you sir.

I am not going to leave Greg FordMichael Donahoe, or any of the other staffwriters.  Greg does the colums indie scene and mailbag for the most part.  Both of which the community really enjoys.  Michael does News blips, Video blips & Culture blips which are very helpful to get conversations going.  Even though he is on a Crochet kick right now. (hehe)  Now the other staff may have other jobs, but I enjoy when they do contribute.  Mainly Aaron Thomas & Jason Wilson have been seen lately, but Sean Baby, Andrew Fitch & Robert Ashley have been known to be on the MobCast.

 So in short thank you for a great Three months and look forward to many more to come.  Keep up the great job guys/ gals.

Has it been three months already? Of those 10,000 comments, I think 1,254 are mine.

@Lance You actually would not know how many comments you made. Because your stats only calculate the comments to your blogs. I am not sure I truely want to know who has the most comments or even how many comments I have done here.
Toby Davis , August 06, 2009
You have commented 2,376 times. 1,243 of those times was in anger, 678 of those times was in response to something I said, and 2 of those times was when you thought you were applying for the Bioshock 2 Beta. smilies/cheesy.gif

Nice article though, if you have time, you should add a picture of a cake!

@Lance where do you find how much someone has commented? If I commented that much then you commented just about the same amount.

Toby - It is early, and I am fucking with you, I am sorry. I was just joking around!
Lance Darnell , August 06, 2009
I know you are, but I wake up at 6 am bright and early. So I thought I would mess with you while your still half asleep.
Toby Davis , August 06, 2009

Nice!!!! Have you had much time to play Fat Princess?
Lance Darnell , August 06, 2009
Not really Wife & Kids have been playing LBP during my game time. So I have not touched it since monday.

I heard about this place from 1up.com. Since UGO took over, its just a shell of what it was. The boards are the worse video game boards on the internet, the article and reviews are a joke and even the news stories are lame.

Bitmob right now is probably my favorite video game related website right now.

Congrats guys, and heres to amny more months (and years) of Bitmob.
David Matos , August 06, 2009
@David - I could not agree more about 1up. I visited that site a week ago and they have made changes to make themselves more like Bitmob!
Lance Darnell , August 06, 2009
Thanks for posting this! I was a hardcore Mobber at first, but ever since E3 I haven't been able to get back in the swing of things. I can't believe it's been 3 months!
J. Cosmo Cohen , August 06, 2009
Thanks, Toby! We appreciate this post and also your involvement in the site, it'd be nothing without you guys.
Demian Linn , August 06, 2009
Thanks for the post Toby. Like Demian said, your involvement has been key to making Bitmob what it is today.
