I know Rafe's a modest chap, and he refrained from mentioning all but the briefest stat at his 'State of the Union' pub meet talk, but just to emphasise how AllAboutSymbian has grown in status, read on.....

The stat Rafe mentioned was 740,000 unique visitors each month, but it's interesting to see how traffic has grown since the last AAS pub meet/Symbian Smartphone Show:

Note also the continued upwards trend from the last completed month (September), we're on track for 24 million pages served for October 2006.

Rafe kindly thanked Ewan and I at the meet, but I think we all owe a thank you to Rafe for putting all the effort and resources into keeping the site going and growing. And my thanks again to all the unsung heroes like krisse, Arjen and the other forum regulars (you know who you are) who help us stay on top of spam and keep the answers coming to AAS newcomers.
