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, + +-- Brad \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
