2015 Year on Bike Hub in Review

· By BikeHubCoreAdmin · 81 comments

It’s that time again when we look back at the year that was. The year in review takes a look at some numbers and standout performances (from users and content) for the year.

In 2015 one of the biggest changes was our name. This year we became ‘Bike Hub’ (read about that here if you missed the article). Although in many senses a very subtle change, it was symbolic of our growing up – a maturing of the platform and our community as a whole.

Thanks for joining us on the journey and helping shape who and what we are as ‘Bike Hub’.

Here’s to an exciting 2016!

Interesting to see the list "most viewed".

 

Almost 33% of my total post count was in 2015. Scary!

haha I see I'm also on there... I moved from having the highest post count on the Opel OPC Forum to a #4 spot here for new topics... Too much time spent working and less time trolling the web, haha.

Thinking about it though.... If there are 10 topics I'm interested in at any given point in time, that's 2 posts per thread per week day.
