Did you know Caudata.org came into being in February 2001? More precisely, February 6th. Thanks to Nate's encouragement I went ahead and bit the bullet to start up the site.
Heather's Caudate Central became part of the site the same year, though CC had been around much longer. I also added my Axolotl site which had been around since 1999 and here we are. The forums came shortly afterwards and in 2003 we added the chat facility.
It sounds straight forward but you know, if the site got a couple of hundred hits a day (hits are when anyone loads a page, as opposed to visitors to a site - i.e. one visitor could make a few hundred hits if they wanted) I was impressed. I kept telling Nate that we could not hope for much more but Nate believed otherwise.
As of February we receive over 1200 unique visitors per day. The number of hits to Caudata.org pages is a scary number that you'd ask someone to count up to only as an exercise in torture.
Why has the site grown so much? Well it's mainly due to the community spirit and the good info, but when it comes down to it all of this comes from you wonderful people, the users, site contributors/volunteers and donors.
Caudata.org and the sites that reside here, the forums and the chat have enriched my own hobby more than I can measure. I know many of you can say something similar. It's all thanks to you, the users, so may it continue to go from strength to strength.
Happy 3rd Birthday everyone!
