If my timing is right, you are now reading the 10000th item posted on Drupal.org! This count includes everything except comments, which means forum topics, project issues, book pages, images and stories.

The Drupal.org website was started on April 26, 2001. These last three years, the website has been growing steadily.

Some statistics and other tidbits:

• We had over 1200 active users the last 30 days, not including anonymous visitors.
• On average, we get about 78 posts per day (nodes and comments).
• In July 2004 a total of 26GB in data was served, spread over 2.2 million hits (for 218979 unique visitors).
• A total of 15136 comments have been posted.
• The SQL database for Drupal.org is 170MB.
• We are the #1 hit on Google for creating romance in marriage :D.

Work is going on behind the scenes to improve the Drupal.org website, so we can serve you even better in the future.

Let's hope we reach the 20000 mark soon!
