One year...

:party:

What have we done?
I think we have successfully transitioned from PSO to PTO. Thanks Erin!
The community is GREAT. Open minded for other opinions, not afraid to say their piece and everyone is super friendly! You guys are:

And don't forget our great admins Al and WLLady!!

The year in stats
They just blow me away! I had no idea that we would be that active.

32,600 posts!

650 members

99,500 sessions (first yellow area is when the weather got nicer people spend more time with the chickens; spike was a company in the US trying to "sell" their product; bump at the end is our online show

)

930,000 page views (bump at the end is our online show)

We had a true canadian reach (with a focus on Ontario obviously)

We uploaded 4.9Gb of pictures and can keep going for another year before we need to consider some changes. So keep them pictures coming!!

Wow a whole year of PTO, awesome!! Here's to an even better 2nd year!

I was away for a couple days with the high school girls volleyball team I coach, so spent a bunch of time today feeding and freshening up a few bird pens. I am already wishing for spring. TomK stopped by to pick up his sunflower seeds I got for him, had a little chat, always good to see PTO members in person.

Hope everyone has a good evening.
