This is the 1700th Article? Really?
Apparently, this is the 1700th article. It bough caught me by surprise and didn’t catch me by surprise. I had planned to write a ton of articles so I could publish this on Halloween, but I kinda didn’t really get a chance to. Would have written like 12 articles or something silly and I was too tired to do that. Really, 1700 isn’t a great number. It’s 300 articles away from the big 2k. But that means that by next year, we’ll have reached 2000 articles, which will be cool.
Rather than go on all cutesy like, today we’ll talk about some milestones and various facts and tidbits. Just so you all get a feel for things. Like for example, Medicinal Warlock has published over 75 articles on the Daily SPUF. aabicus has published over 450 articles and I’m nearing 800 articles published. Yeah. Clearly I’m either super dedicated or have no life. Funny how the top three bloggers are all Medic mains.
That also might explain why our third most used tag is ‘Medic‘, with 180 articles tagged with that term. It is beaten by the tags ‘Fun‘ with 215 articles and ‘Weapon‘ with 216 articles. The fourth and fifth most used tags are ‘Analysis‘ and ‘Criticism‘ with 178 and 176 articles respectively.
The largest category is the Featured category, which contains most of our articles. As in, about 1500 of them. This is followed by the relatively new category Now for Something Completely Different category with just over 130 articles. Of course, some articles do get placed into multiple categories, so the total doesn’t add up to 1700.
What’s most unusual though are ‘search terms’, things people have typed into search engines and from there have ended up here on the Daily SPUF. Now, Google and most other search engines normally block what search terms are visible via WordPress stats, which means what little left is always going to be kinda odd and possibly not in English. I would blame aabicus for the fact that Best Nude Mod comes up as our top term according to WordPress stats, but honestly his nude mod articles are all genuinely pretty fun to read. It’s not sex, it’s just nudity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Nudity comes up a lot in these rather scattershot search terms, but also apparently so does unsubscribing from Amazon Prime, the dozen or so search terms all pointing towards this article about obtaining Frost Prime via the Twitch Prime promotion.
The worst search term though is ‘beautiful fucking of mummy with men‘. I have no idea what article it is referring to, but someone typed that into a search engine and somehow ended up on the Daily SPUF. Most search terms at least relate to things we’ve covered, such as nude mods for various games, lots of Payday and Saints Row stealth and a bundle of various Skyrim searches, but ‘beautiful fucking of mummy with men‘… That one’s special. This is only a tiny number of search terms though, as there are nearly 17,000 search terms that WordPress has noticed but doesn’t know what they are.
Speaking of nude, aabicus’s two main nude mods articles are the top two most-viewed articles, followed by Minuscule asymmetries in official maps that make a difference and The Amazon Prime/Twitch Prime Trial is really damn hard to get. Other high ranking articles include this year’s Jump Day article, an article about the Warframe community, a chat about a character that doesn’t yet exist in Overwatch, how to make the most of sprays and the original Tips for New Warframe Players article.
Finally, just like every other milestone article, I’d like to say thank you all for sticking around for so long. Particularly the 200 or so of you who for some reason have subscribed to the Daily SPUF and get a nice email every day. SubSPUF gets a thank you too for pinning our thread there, acting as a tiny hideout for us old SPUFers. An extra thank you goes out to aabicus, Silver Wolf and Medical Warlock, all of whom have contributed a fuck ton since the last milestone. Give yourselves a pat on the back. You deserve it.
That’s it for now. Check back tomorrow for the first of a wonderful four part series by Medical Warlock.
