one million pageviews in a single month

MetaFilter tops one million pageviews in a single month.

Stats for July barely squeak past the elusive 1 million mark, but the site finally makes it. I usually don't care too much about the stats (they're mostly done for the sake of curiousity with regards to referrers and bandwidth use), but I was amazed to see such a large number at the "requests for pages" total.

Thanks everyone for contributing and visiting.

Mefi, your first choice for flaming ferraris.

My little personal portal made it in to the referrer stats! http://192.168.1.2/~smaug/php/index.php3. Well, I thought it was a bit weird seeing something to do with me there...

seriously though, I didn't know my MeFi addiction was that bad. I'm gonna go check into the Betty Ford equivalent for MeFi addicts.

I've got only 970,000 more pageviews to go, Matt, before MeFi gets toppled.

In seriousness, congrats!

yikes, I hope all 146 visits that came from my page weren't me... I didn't think I was that bad.
