Hello DNForum,
Recently, a major domain marketplace reached out to us requesting our latest platform statistics. It occurred to us that this data belongs to our community, too.
Transparency is key to a healthy forum, so we’ve decided to share our internal metrics for the last 30 days (as far as we can get from the softwares).
1. Web Traffic & Visitor Trends
Our unique visitor count remains strong. You’ll notice a significant spike at the beginning of the chart—we’ve identified this as "junk traffic" from a scraping attempt. It wasn’t a malicious attack, but it does temporarily skew the "maximum" visitor data. Outside of that event, our baseline traffic remains consistent and healthy.
2. Web Traffic & Visitor Trends
Our newsletter is a vital tool for keeping the community connected. We recently pushed out a large broadcast, and here is how the delivery is looking:
3. Community Activity (XenForo Stats)
Our forum software metrics show steady weekly engagement for 3 months. Despite the usual seasonal fluctuations, the core "vibe" of the forum remains active with consistent posting and member logins.
That's all for today!
Keep domaining,

- Daily Minimum Baseline: ~48k Unique Visitors
2. Web Traffic & Visitor Trends
Our newsletter is a vital tool for keeping the community connected. We recently pushed out a large broadcast, and here is how the delivery is looking:
- Average Open Rate: ~10% (expected to rise as users open mail over the next few days).
- Average Bounce Rate: Typically 2-4%.
- Recent Update: Today’s bounce rate hit ~8%. This is a bit higher than usual, but we are actively monitoring our deliverability to keep it low.
