Whooo Hooo! I am a very happy and grateful gorilla right now. Since my appearance here on FA in May to my presence here now in October, only eight months, I've hit over 1000 pageviews! This is phenomenal to me, based on my somewhat shy nature. Also the last surge of about 60 page views are due to the outstanding work of..  damingo thanks very much.

So I just wanted to share a few numbers and notes for this little 'celebratory' journal of mine.

I've submitted 52 pieces and 13 journals so far. 2 sides of Jack once again by  damingo followed by Gorilla Jack by  danthebear were the most favorite-d. They were gorgeous pieces, and were better than what I could do... but they were my concept....

My most viewed piece was my 'Gorilla Brothers' filth piece ::blushes a bit:: followed by my commission of 'The Last One' by  leo_todrius

While my Apes of FA and 2 Sides of Jack tied for the most chatter and comments. I find these stats, if nothing else, interesting.

So, with these facts in mind, I welcome any comments on my first 1000 views as well as comments and notes on how to improve my page, up my numbers, etc. I absolutely adore meeting, and getting to chat with others, even it it is only once in a while. (IRL my time is limited by my stupid responsibilities, so please don't be angry if I can't be available every time you send an IM, I promise to get back to you at some point. Promise)

I also wanted to thank a few members personally.

 skarute for being my first watch, shout, and FA friend!
 makaio for being my first indepth roleplay buddy
 shirobear my bigfoot buddy for great chats, especially in the field of video games and sharing his 3ds friend code. Love swapping notes with ya
 lightpaws for being the first and nicest Fursuiter from FA for me to meet

 damingo  gravewalker  leo_todrius  danthebear and  tcyk89 for their wonderful commissions!

And lastly every last of of you that I've had the pleasure of chatting with and meeting thank you.

Lastly for the 'new look' I think, I'm gonna simply delete scraps and submissions that haven't had a fav or comment, along with some of the junk journals that have zero views. Maybe spiff up a new icon/avatar, along with a better intro and see what else I can do. I really want my FA experience interactive. But thats all to occur tonight.

Thanks again to everyone, and I hope to hear from you.

Best of Luck, Take Care
