Traffic to the FWR board

Woohoo we can stop worrying about monitors too cos apparently the visitor stats just prove how insignificant FWR is.

From the stats, we see quite clearly the reputation and corruption of its feminism board is a turn off.... the feminism board is attracting a niche of bigots, and has become the speakeasy of transphobia, homophobia and endorsed bigotry.
Bravo @Justine_Roberts

Of course Joss includes their own twitter stats and not to be out done RMcK has to chime in and one million up Joss

So if we’re not worth bothering with can the special FWR rules be relaxed now?

^when comparing June 2018 against June 2019.

Hang on - I was talking with a friend and think I might have led people astray.

That figure (246,000 visits during June 2019) is only people who entered MN via FWR.

People like me (who likes to check AIBU first ) or my friend (enters via “Active”) won’t be included (although we will in the overall MN figure - 18,000,000 visits in June).

But yes - people who click on FWR first has increased 39%.

That's amazing. What we've achieved via this board is brilliant.

Fucking hells bells.

1/4 of a million. Wow

💪🍺🍺

39% increase in traffic to FWR.

wow. just wow

So almost a quarter of a million visitors a month to FWR, that is quite incredible.

Thanks to all the hard-working mods but most of all thanks to all the brilliant women on here who are providing a voice of reason in these troubling times.

39% increase in traffic to FWR.

Now 246,000 visitors per month v 177,000 last year (I recall someone saying this is unique visitors but not sure).

On the other hand - traffic to other parts of MN is down - interesting.

Oh dear looks like Islan's figures were not quite accurate

From 177 to 246k that's impressive. I'm one of the extras brought here because MN allows women a voice and is allowing us to discuss the important impact trans ideology has on us.

and a copy of my post from that thread:

Just gone back and compared to the thread from last year

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3276312-Would-MNHQ-be-open-to-sharing-some-info-with-us

interestingly it appears that entrances to the site are down

June 2018 26m entrances
June 2019 18m entrances

So if those numbers are correct:

in June 2018 0.7% of the site entrances were via FWR
In June 2019 1.4% of the site entrances were via FWR

crikey

just a heads up that numbers have been released here

for hardworking mods.. is there an update on this?

The Eyes should really think a bit harder.

They spend so much effort and time leaping on any perceived infraction in a desperate, flailing attempt to shut it down.

Do they think if they succeed in deleting a post on MN, that we somehow just stop communicating? That we don't meet in homes and in private? That we don't talk and understand and learn and swell our ranks every day? That previous "allies" are turning to us and saying "sorry, we didn't see it at first..."

Women everywhere are wearing Dangerous Coats. More and more every day.

I guess that's why they are called Eyes and not Brains...

I think a lot of the people who generated really quality content did get to a point where they felt unwelcome here. But I suspect there’s enough people still hanging around that the numbers will be decent

Well I for one am expecting traffic to be down - didn’t a lot off people get in a big (understandable) huff with all the word policing, and decamp?

(Please come back we miss you )

Also following with interest...just like a PP, I hop on here & twitter regularly to keep up to date with all the key issues but I also see it as my duty to talk IRL to as many people as possible. So my overall personal usage of FWR could be lower simply due to number of hours available in the day and this may be true for lots of us. Hopefully there will be many more lurkers learning more about it all though.

My sense is that traffic may be less, partly because there are fewer posts covering the basics, so it less useful to those new to this

We tend to point people at the break it down for me thread if they have basic questions. Would a new thread be useful do you think, or more of us answering basic questions on threads as they arise?

I also wonder whether traffic may have dropped a bit because quite a few of the best posters have either been banned or have left/massively cut down on posting because they're sick of the amount of coercive gaslighty bullshit they're expected to put up with.

I think FWR is an incredible resource and it brings loads of clicks to the site. MNHQ should cherish it. I worry they're in danger of killing the golden goose.

If this board was negatively affecting MN stats in any way, Justine would be racing to the delete button.

Yet here we are. Curiouser and curiouser.

My sense is that traffic may be less, partly because there are fewer posts covering the basics, so it less useful to those new to this, and partly because the debate is more mature (many of us have a very good grip on the issues) and therefore there is more real life activism and real life conversations taking place (I am certainly much more vocal on this than ever before).

I think we are at a critical time with some windows opening where women are being allowed to put across their concerns and this is where our focus now needs to be. I feel that we are closer to being able to have proper dialogue on this and I am certainly spending time making sure that I listen more attentively to the wide range of voices under the transgender umbrella, so that any conversation and activism can be constructive. That said, I am always on here - it is my main source of information as to where and when activism is needed!

"Not seen a "lady penis beaker" thread yet"

Just think of the range of exotic threads we could have had if Justine not allowed MN to become a GC refuge. "Does my packer look big in this?" "AIBU: My wife won't let me wear her clothes" "What to look for in a surrogate" "how to increase sensation in a neo-vagina" "the hormones in the five day chicken are interfering with the ones I take", "The best way to wash rubber-wear".

Mimmymum is showing approximated figures for Mumsnet.com from one of the sites that provides them.

She’s omitted to mention that figures like this are notoriously inaccurate.
