BUSY AS A BEE…

Phew, wot a scorcher! Yesterday saw almost 15,000 visits to Biased BBC. Many thanks to you all. We are now well into the relaunched site and all seems to have settled down well. I notice a few old regulars seem to have vanished in transition, no idea why! Hope they find us again. That said, all are welcome here, friend and critics, and the final interesting stat is that since we have moved to this shiny new box, a grand total of almost 500,000 visits have taken place -pretty good news in my book.

    Very many congratulations, but, this site wouldn’t be necessary if it were not for the crazy little left wingers with anti-British ideals rooted like weeds in the bowls of the BBC.
    All paid for on pain of imprisonment but accountable to no one.
    So this site is very necessary and doing a great job.
    Keep it up and thank you.

      I agree with Wayne.
      I think he has got it about right.

        ‘I think he has got it about right.

        🙂
        At this rate, in the speaking for the UK stakes, Mehdi’s daily BBC Green Room standby gob of the people slot should probably go to Mr. Vance.
        But then, uniquely, like so much, guest expertise seems not to be so much on actual representation of the public as something so unique they believe they are so comfortable with it, it need not be defined.

      ‘All paid for on pain of imprisonment’

      10 years and counting and still free as a bird, just don’t pay it they give up eventually.

      A/C for legal reasons 😉

    Congratulations on the hit rate, well done.
    Just one tiny point, if I go the “comments”, post one and then try to get back to the main site, it does not work. Normally a click on the back button works but not now. I also came across the same with another Blog the other day. Odd?

      If you press your middle (scroll) mouse knob to click on the ‘comments’ link it will open the page in a new tab, so you won’t have that problem.

    Yes David congrats – esp on the hit rate – except I don’t think it is good news – good news would be when BBBC ceases to exist because the state broadcaster is no longer biased (well I can dream can’t I?).

    This is about the only site where we can let rip, no holds barred, and vent our spleens about the effin’ BBC bastards. Thank you for the opportunity.

    DV, I found the whole process much harder to log on.

    Once done though its smooth as silk.

    I miss the catch up of the last five postings you used to have as it helped you keep abreast of multiple threads easily

      If you use Google Reader you can see all recent comments and just refresh every 15 minutes or so.

      Well done on the increased traffic DV!

      Just to add my ‘appenyworth, would be nice if we could see who puts the ‘likes’ as well as per the previous incarnation.
