Traffic is rapidly increasing. In February, more than 2700 unique users visited Hackensack Now. For year 2005, more than 4600 unique visitors came to the site. Considering there are only 42,000 people in Hackensack (about half of that within "computer using age"), I'm encouraged by this number.
The vast majority of users view the message boards. The message boards were viewed more than 10,000 times in the month of February alone. (This means that 2500 unique users are returning each month about 4 times). Only a small percentage of those viewing the boards actually post messages.
Bandwidth for the month of February exceeded 1 gigabyte.
