Twinkie Town Reaches One Million Visits

Give yourselfs a pat on the back!

Late last night, Twinkie Town picked up its 1,000,000th visitor!  Over the 45 months that we've been live it's been a fun ride, highlighted by steady traffic growth, the addition of great contributions on the front page and from everyday readers like you, and the transition to SB Nation 2.0 back in March of 2008.

More than 242,000 visits have been since the 2009 season kicked off.  Thanks to everyone who stops by for a quick read, or the long one punctuated by a comment or two.  Without you, this isn't a community.  It's just another blog.

Whether this is your first day stopping by the site, or if you've been here since November of 2005, this is a shout out to you.  Hopefully you'll always feel free to speak your mind here and sometimes learn something new, or somehow manage to entertain yourself or waste a little time at work.

Here's to another one million!

Jesse

The new guy

Don’t care for him so much, but the rest of you are great.

For the record

There was supposed to be a "Congrats Jesse, et al " attached to that. SELF-DEPRECATION FAIL

Congratulations, guys

Man, it’s already been almost four years? It seems like yesterday that TwinsGeek’s Twins Territory site was shutting down, and then Jesse came riding in like a knight in shining armor. I’ve really enjoyed the community here – we’ve got a pretty good group of both bloggers and posters.

November of 2005 (under a different name though…changed it once we switched) and have enjoyed my time here. Good place to discuss Twins baseball.

Congrats Jesse!
