    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Online At Once Record

Looks like we are heading for an all time record number of users online at once.
The record for ccmfans.net is currently at 119, and our all time record is 164 set on March 19, 2008 when the site was named marinators.net.

While you're having a look around the site, why not make a post or two? Maybe let us know how you think we will go in the grand final? Or what your plans are for Grand Final day?


** UPDATE: We just hit 134 as I was typing that message! Well on our way now! **

Any idea Adz of how much the forum traffic has gone up during this season? Is that something measurable?

Sure is, we have a few things in place to measure traffic and I am quite often boring the moderating team with various graphs and things.

This (attached image) is from Awstats, which takes its figures directly from the server logs. The numbers are down a bit from previous seasons, e.g. last season we were looking at 8-10k unique visitors per month, rather than 5-6. I think this reflects a general loss of interest in the A-League, but who knows. I think the numbers are still pretty healthy.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Unique Visitor:
A unique visitor is a person or computer (host) that has made at least 1 hit on 1 page of your web site during the current period shown by the report. If this user makes several visits during this period, it is counted only once. Visitors are tracked by IP address, so if multiple users are accessing your site from the same IP (such as a home or office network), they will be counted as a single unique visitor.

Visits:
Number of visits made by all visitors.
Think "session" here, say a unique IP accesses a page, and then requests three other pages within an hour. All of the "pages" are included in the visit, therefore you should expect multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor (assuming that some of the unique IPs are logged with more than an hour between requests)

Pages:
The number of "pages" viewed by visitors. Pages are usually HTML, PHP or ASP files, not images or other files requested as a result of loading a "Page" (like js,css... files). Files listed in the NotPageList config parameter (and match an entry of OnlyFiles config parameter if used) are not counted as "Pages".

Hits:
Any files requested from the server (including files that are "Pages") except those that match the SkipFiles config parameter.

Bandwidth:
Total number of bytes for pages, images and files downloaded by web browsing.
Note 1: Of course, this number includes only traffic for web only (or mail only, or ftp only depending on value of LogType).
Note 2: This number does not include technical header data size used inside the HTTP or HTTPS protocol or by protocols at a lower level (TCP, IP...).
Because of two previous notes, this number is often lower than bandwith reported by your provider (your provider counts in most cases bandwitdh at a lower level and includes all IP and UDP traffic).

Not sure mate, people don't usually give these numbers out :)

I used to have a link to SFCU stats but that went down a few years ago. From memory they were running about 4x what we did... and raising $450/month to keep the site going, whereas in comparison marinators.net/ccmfans.net has raised $0 for hosting and development ;)
