It's been a great year for most of us here at GeekPolice. We have grown quite a fair bit since we launched on 1st July 2008.

We have garnered over to 2 million unique visitors this year, 35,000 members and 100,000 posts. In Janurary we got about 60,000 visitors which grew to over 250,000 visitors in December 2009.
