Every now and then, I like to show off some stats and get some feedback from everyone. First off, some information!
Since this forum was created in October 2011, we've gone from nonexistent to rank 1 for "Honda PCX Forum" on both Google and Yahoo search. Bing is derpy, we're #2 there. For reference, that is a search with relevance rated against approximately 622,000 other crawled, potentially relevant sites. That also means we beat out our primary competitor, clubpcx, in SEO.
We also lead in content:
Number of posts: 18500
Posts per day: 26.97
Number of topics: 1208
Topics per day: 1.76
Number of users: 742
Users per day: 1.08
That's awesome! I would have never imagined this site would have kicked off so well. Even more impressive are our hits statistics. A hit is any given pageview -- you generated a hit when you clicked this topic.
We processed just under a million hits last month, and have a steadily rising hit trend:- hits.png (10.82 KiB) Viewed 2908 times
That means a lot of bandwidth, but due to optimizations and the simplicity of the site, there actually isn't a ridiculous amount of transfer -- about 22GiB last month. Here is a full history of our bandwidth usage, it's rising faster than our hit count:

I moderate very hands-off, but average about a ban a week for spam or other crap. I still have never deleted any posts other than spam, and feel as though my hands-off moderation is working.
All that said -- is everyone content with the way the forum currently is?
Does anyone have any reasonable requests for usability, improvements, strategy, or feedback?
Hope you're all having a good time here, keep on enjoying the forum, we're not going anywhere but up.
