    What sorta Press Release will you be releasing to celebrate this? The site deserves a high profile and some public recognition of a site where selfless people help each other out. Also that it has all been inspired by Martin.

    The rate at which you've gone from 1m to 2m is incredible.

    Well done!!

    That's fantastic, it also explains why I don't get any of the freebies Martin mentions in his E-mail, I must be the last one on the list to receive the weekly email:D

    Seriously, well done to Martin and the team.

    Am I safe in assuming that the 2m figure is free from any 'bounce-backs' i.e. 'this email address not recognised' etc? Even if not, it's an amazing figure.

    Of the 5m monthly visitors, how many are unique visitors?

    As you'll see from this past blog the official number includes a number of now dead e-mails - but so we can be consistent over time we keep with the "number of addresses signed up and never unsubscribed" the actual send is to 1.9m active email addresses.

    And yes 5m unique users about 8m visits (you'll see the exact stats on the bottom right of the home page)
