Here are ten genuine facts about thevervoid.com

With a bit of luck, in an hour or two we will break the thirty thousand visitor mark at this petite website. The internet being the internet there are some sites who would envy such numbers and others which would sneeze all over them with a mixture of derision and mucus. I think it's a pretty good total for a site born eleven months ago and which, if we're honest, serves no real purpose. There is nothing to sell, there is no exclusive news to impart, there are no forums (fora?) in which to discuss topics of interest, there are no sexy pictures, there is no (original) erotic material, there are no interviews with the great and the good, there is no celebrity behind the site and we've not really blipped on any radar to speak of. But hopefully we've had fun and you've had fun with us. [insert picture as no words can follow such heartfelt sentiment]

To celebrate this milestone around our collective neck, I've spent minutes compiling a list of ten genuinely fascinating true facts about www.thevervoid.com. All information is correct at the time of writing (which is 10.24 on the evening of 17th September 2004)

1. There are currently 1667 pages

2. And 1662 images

3. The visitor total is 29,983

4. The highest number in one day was 301 (11.08.04)

5. The lowest was 16 (05.12.03)

6. 109,647 page impressions have been registered

7. Twenty three people have so far contributed material

8. There was an update on Christmas Day because I’m tragic

9. Doctor Who is the most popular topic for discussion (no surprise there) with suicide in second place

10. Twenty nine people have so far been cast as The Doctor in various bits of silliness, not counting Ant’s videos which actually happened.

So let's raise a glass to praise me us and take care not to put those glasses at the back of a really tricky cupboard as we'll need them in a little under a month when we celebrate our first birthday.
