User No 4,000

Earlier today Kiwiblog had its 4,000th registered user/commenter register. No 4000 was “shaun”.

That basically means there since I started requiring registrations a couple of years ago, over 4,000 different people have made at least one comment.

Readership has also gone up in 2009. It spiked in January (to my surprise), dipped in February but has been growing steadily the last six weeks or so. For the last month Google Analytics say there were almost 80,000 absolute unique visitors (not visits).
