Today our gallery reached the 50k image mark. First off I want to give a big public thanks to Kid_Kyoto, InyokaMadoda, Arctik_Firangi, Hordini, viney, Pipboy101, warboss, kid_happy, wyomingfox and Enron who have made a huge contribution to voting, sorting and categorising the gallery, especially kid_kyoto who has done far more than any other user including yakface and myself. Without you guys, and everyone else who has helped vote, tag and categorise the gallery would just be a total mess instead of being relatively easy to search, so a big thanks to you all from everyone who has ever enjoyed using the gallery.

So onto some stats....
We are now the second largest wargaming miniature gallery in existence (by a huge margin). At current growth rates we will be the biggest in 27 months or so.
We have had 172,776 votes cast to date.
There have been 4,613,783 direct image views, of which 498,388 were from registered users, and we average around 400,000 image views per day for people using us for hosting or remote linking our gallery images (about 8GB of images every day).
We serve up 230-250GB images per month and that rate increases by 20-40GB per month.
The gallery images alone currently take up 49GB of disk space (well technically 4 times that when you consider all the off site incremental backups - if the server ever dies we are not going to lose the gallery).
We add an average of 175 new images every day.
The average rating for an image is 3.3/10 (a lot of WIP and unpainted stuff!)
There are 3261 images with an average rating above 7.00, but only 155 are above 9.00, and only 9 are above 9.9.
2992 inappropriate images have been deleted by moderators so far.
5204 comments have been left about images.
There are 6102 different image tags, and 519,253 tags have been applied to images.

Here are some gallery searches you might not have tried before:
Miniatures with LEDs in them
Funny images
Artwork
Best overall images
Best paintjobs
Images of gamers

So once again, a big thanks to everyone who has helped out so far! Here's to the next 50k!

And I will try to vote on all of them.

Thanks again

Whooo hooo.. More pictures !

Huh anyone notice how the top painted model has only 2 votes and its by far not the best painted in the gallery. Just an observation.

@Legoburner: How about making some more sig images for people to spread the word.

I could do with a Warmachine specific one for the PP boards.

Keep prompting me and I'll do some more. The one on the FoW forums keeps creeping me out when I see it though

Prompt, prompt!

Lego, £20 says that if i upload every pic from my hard drive onto dakka i can double our total

We dont allow pornography and especially dont allow THAT kind of filth.

You can email them to legoburner at comcast dot gov

Lego, mines mainly funny pics ive seen and saved

also, ive found some that date back a few years of old armies ive had lol, might have to drag up a few of those at some point.

Allthough, i could do what most normal people do and delete all the gak lol.
