Welcome to the FINAL monthly stats update. I’m a day late in posting this, I’m sure I’m going to hear about it from my dad.

I’ve been online for around 215 days. I’ve had over 915,000 visitors (I might hit a million before the premiere). I’ve posted 446 stories which received 4,288 comments (and 4,187 blocked spam comments). There have been 3,000,000 requests for pages, and a staggering 47,000,000 requests for all files (these are mostly people hotlinking to images, comics, and icons and posting them on other forums around the net). I’ve transferred 1.29 terabytes of data. The most popular day of the week is still Friday. The most popular hour of the day is still between 1pm and 2pm EST.

I’ve gotten twenty free t-shirts, one free hat, one free button and one free mug. A fan started petition requesting I be allowed to attend the premiere is over 1720 signatures. There are currently 55 translations of “Snakes on a Plane” into foreign languages and well over 100 poems. I’ve been interviewed by three TV crews. SnakesOnABlog.com has appeared in countless of newspaper stories, linked to by thousands of blogs, and over 6,000 other webpages. I’ve been invited to one Comic-Con.

But my goal was not to build stats. My goal was not to get free t-shirts or high hit-counts. My goal was to attend the Hollywood premiere of Snakes on a Plane. Finally, thanks to all of the above stats and the help of hundreds of thousands of readers, I was officially invited to attend.

Thank you, everybody.

Previous stats updates: first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth.

I am a TV and film writer for the Fresno Bee. It is impossible to write about “Snakes on a Plane” without mentioning your blog. How does it feel to be part of this mass media hysteria for the film?

WTF is the Fresno Bee?

Hell yeah! Good going. I honestly would have been pissed if they didn’t invite you. You’ve done a ton for the movie, and I’m sure far less people would have heard of it if not for this site.

Enjoy it, and be sure to tell us how awesome it was the moment you get out of the theatre.
