Well, well, well...

So, it's been 7 years since we started BNO! Anybody getting the itch yet???

Last month, August, set a record at BNO for the highest traffic month ever: 1,286,746 hits included 46,496 visits by 16,117 visitors. (For you statistics impaired folks, that means that each of you visited about 3 times in August and clicked your mouse button about 27 times while you were here). Not bad for a hobby that only has an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 enthusiasts!!

For the last 12 months we have had 13,337,973 hits. That's over a million hits higher than the previous 12 months and that number will now appear on our home page! As I do each year, I will compile a bunch of useless stats for the year end, just before you all go to Florida for Jack & Paula's Busin' 2005 party! Stay tuned!!

Thank you very much to our loyal viewers who give us such pleasure in having them visit. As always, we feel ourselves to be honoured that you find our little web site interesting enough to keep coming back day after day. Truly, we still count you one by one and thank each and everyone of you for visiting.

Great job, folks. Thank you.

You DA MAN, I@N!

Thank YOU for providing our home on the net.


...now if you could just update that home page more than once every seven years, you could double your revenue! :) :) :)

Hi Chuck,

I used to change the home page once a month for 5 years. Then I went to once every two months for a year and now change it 4 times a year or, if something is newsworthy, more often.

Our home page is the 2nd most viewed page, second only to the BNO BBS and more viewed than DieselChat, Buses for Sale and Dave Galey's online version of The Bus Converter's Bible. Probably due to the fact that from our home page, you can navigate to anywhere on our 100+ page web site.

As for revenue, we have seen modest increases year to year, thank you, but if you'd like to send us money, we'd be happy to look after it for you.

Oh... and another thing... I'm not through in the hot tub yet!

Hi Two Dogs,

I would keep your Eagle there forever, except that the rust that keeps falling from it is gumming up the scrollbar that makes the web page roll up and down.
