2011 By The Numbers At Big Blue View

Just when you want to go and rub dirt in the face of Dallas Cowboys fans after the New York Giants ended another Dallas season in despair one of them goes and does something nice for you. Which effectively takes all the fun out of picking on them. Bummer!

Then again, this is also a great thing for us. A community member from Blogging the Boys has taken the time to provide us with complete posting and commenting stats for Big Blue View for the past two years. Maybe this was his way of dealing with his misery. Whatever the reason, the result is pretty awesome.

Follow the jump for all the goodies.

Topline 2011 stats.

• Five different front page writers combined to bring you 1,600 front page posts in 2011, a significant increase versus the 1,262 in 2010.
• 272 BBV members wrote a combined 819 Fanposts last year. That's slightly up versus 2010 (715).
• 106 BBV members posted a total of 270 Fanshots in 2011, also up versus 2010 (218).

All these numbers show is that I really need to get a life. Combine this with all the writing I do at SB Nation New York and it's no wonder my neck and my arms hurt most of the time.
