Dear Truth-Seekers, Link-Followers, Curiosity-Quellers, and Debate-Starters (our readers),
Thank you so much for checking out our little plight. Your support has helped make The Northern Plight the 2nd or 3rd most popular satirical news blog with a pigeon logo in NCU history. The following statistics are real (I know sometimes it’s hard to tell with us)
- From it’s inception on July 21 to the minute I’m writing this, The Northern Plight has had 1,319 page visits from 388 Absolute Unique Visitors from 13 countries and 29 states (including Alaska but not Hawaii).
- 1/3 of our entire visits have occurred in the last 7 days and we are now averaging over 60 hits per day.
We are both shocked and a little humbled by the response we’ve seen and still don’t know exactly what to do with ourselves. Frankly, it’s amazing to imagine people other then professors are reading something we’ve written, and even sometimes having something to say about it!
We think people like what they’re seeing here, and appreciate it more then you might realize. Even if you disagree with us, it hasn’t stopped you from stopping by, and at times, telling us so.
Thanks for your patience with us as we continue to develop our writing styles and topics into something worth your attention. We believe there is potential for this silly little blog to spark something very good at North Central. We hope you’ll stick around to see it played out.
Your editors
