+title: "Two Years and Over 700 Websites Later"
+layout: post
+summary: "Reflecting on the upcoming borthday for 1MB Club"
+---
+
+Although the second "birthday" of the 1MB Club is officially *November 19*, I couldn't help by write down some of my thoughts about this project over the past two years. I honestly have nothing but positive things to say and the amount of interest in this silly side project has been wonderful!
+
+## Some Fun Stats
+
+Let's take a look at some stats that don't mean anything of *real* importance (please note - these figures are based on stats collected at the time of writing):
+
+The **Github** repo has the following:
+
+- 290 stars
+- 197 forks
+- 391 commits
+- 246 contributors
+- 351 pull requests (all closed!)
+
+Some fun facts about the **website** itself:
+
+- 742 total members
+- Total size of all member websites combined: **169.4 MB**
+- Average member website size: **228.3 KB**
+- 8 [Hall of Fame](/#hof) members (thank you!)
+- 3 website redesigns since launch ([read more](/blog/club-updates/))
+- Switched hosting from Netlify to NearlyFreeSpeech.NET
+- Recently added a web-focused [blog](/blog)
+
+## Closing Thoughts
+
+I'm still passionate about making a leaner, more performance-based web. I still get excited seeing another member request pop into my inbox. I love getting to visit those submitted websites and discovering something *new* on the internet. Something I otherwise would have probably missed. It's a good reminder how truly massive the size of the internet is.
+
+I should also mention that the members who have requested to join have been nothing but nice. It's been great interacting with so many others who share the same passion for a "smaller" web footprint. My hope is to keep this collection growing for as long as I possibly can.
+
+Thanks for reading,
+
