So that was a July in which no-one got murdered and most folk wandered off on holidays.
Here’s our monthly look at where the site is going, where it’s been and what brings people here.
Key Stats:
(Note: These statistics are prepared by Google Analytics and compare the 31 days of July to the previous 31 days)

We did lose the server for most of Thursday afternoon which didn’t help, but mostly a bit of a slow month.
Housekeeping:
While I’ve got you here a few house-keeping announcements.
If you’re one of the tens of thousands of Canberrans enjoying reading RiotACT perhaps you should consider supporting us?
- — You can just make a donation if you so choose.
— Alternatively you could take out a premium subscription, and get the much sought after RiotACT pin, as well as some improved functionality from the site, and the chance to win some pretty good give-aways.
— If you have goods or services to advertise, or a brand to build, you can advertise with us.
— Failing that Facebookers can just become a fan. We like fans.
