That’s right, it seems like an institution already, but it was only a year ago that cmubuggy.org got started and gave the buggy lovers of the world a place to congregate. The year-round trash talk, the authoritative source to resolve buggy trivia disputes, and the weekly updates of pictures and news all seemed to have been well received, so they are here to stay. We want to thank all the alumni and current students that have visited and contributed to the site in the first year. It wouldn’t be any fun without you guys!
For everyone out there that gets a kick out of quantifying their fun, here are some stats from cmubuggy.org’s first year:
- 43,000+ visits by 11,900+ “unique” visitors
- 553,000+ page-views
- 300+ registered users
- 1,400+ posts in 72 threads in the forum
- 1,300+ pictures in the gallery
- 100+ contributions to the history database (most of which were really many contributions)
Most popular pictures (according to google analytics, not the craptastic view counter in the gallery):
[Ed Note: These are best guesses made in September 2023 as to which photos were being referenced in 2009, based on tracing database IDs through several migrations. There’s a chance we got it wrong.]

It’s been great. Stay tuned for some new features currently in the works that will make cmubuggy.org’s year #2 even better.
