Just pages ranked by pageviews in 2010 season:
1. View this link /phpBB3/index.php
2. View this link /
3. View this link /wiki/Main_Page
4. View this link /phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=21
5. View this link /phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=4
6. View this link /wiki/Bottle_Rocket
7. View this link /phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=66
8. View this link /wiki/2009_Test_Exchange
9. View this link /phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=67
10. View this link /phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=72
11. View this link /eventpages/bottlerockets.htm
12. View this link /wiki/2010_Test_Exchange

Both the test exchanges get more views than *any* thread and basically fall behind only the forum index, the wiki index, and the major forums (building, study, posting, general chat, regional, etc). I don't think that exposure is the problem.

That's very interesting. I wouldn't have thought that the test exchange would be so high up, because I've only used them about ten times. Then again, individual threads certainly do not get as many views as the forums they are in, as well as the index pages.

Although you will probably dismiss this sugestion anyways, its worth a try. I think that there should be two parts to the site. One part for the minor stuff; event discussion, SO announcements, and the like. The other part of the site should be dedicated to the annual ultimate tournement. Also on a related note I think Jazzy009 should be given special recognition by the site for the work that he does for everybody.

Has there already been some additions, such as the bolded print on the title of the top post on each page that I failed to notice? Also, when does the Wiki turn around for next year's events? I'd like to be more involved with editing that next year.

The wiki will turn over at the same time the site turns over when we are positive the events will not change. However if you are looking to start working on a specific event wiki this summer either look for an existing page on the wiki and edit/ revise them. Or create a new page if you can't find one
Edit the Wiki.

Will events that stick around for next year like Road Scholar or Experimental Design retain the same Wiki page or will their pages be restarted with the new events? Does that make any sense at all?

All events that are coming back from ths year will retain the same page unless there is major topic change like dynamic planet will have a new wiki page because the topic changed

Youtube has custom RSS feeds so that a user can get updated everytime one of their subscriptions posts a video. Would it be possible for an RSS feed to be set up on here so that I would get notified everytime a post is made on a topic I am subscribed to?

It's already possible to subscribe to a topic on here so that you are notified by email everytime someone posts in a topic you subscribed to.
