In regards to our hit throughput, we're currently on about 1.7 million hits per day which is about 20 per second, and total hits are in the region of 500 million, but in reality are probably nearer 750 million since Analytics doesn't track us accurately anymore. I'll try and do some more interesting stuff later but I'm annoyed I missed our anniversary >:
Have some screencaps!
The first Fimfiction mockup in Photoshop
Partially coded up and with dat Trixie.
First version of the site (don't have any better shots sorry)
First major redesign photoshop mockup
Redesign in action. This is when I made our logo too!
First pass of current design
That....is a lot of stories...
I've only been around for this year. I don't know what the beta looked like.

ah well...happy 2 years, Knighty
Silly Knighty.
Did you oversleep two days?
Hah, Fimfic is finally 2 years old, and my one-year anniversary here is only days from now. XD The site has come so far, and I must say, I'm quite admiring of it. Good on ya, knighty. Thanks for keeping this site awesome.
I've loved this site ever since I first joined. The dark ages of fanfiction.net are nearly behind me.
This place is essentially my Facebook.
WOOOO!

It's been the best two years of my life so far.
Here's to many more.
Now we gotta figure out how many of these aren't HiE wish-fulfilment Gary Stu self-inserts.
Congrats to everyone on fimfiction!
1206099
Maybe half.
1206099
Not enough
Yeah, Fimfiction!
That's alot of words...
1206103 I was going for two-fifths.
1206107 Obviously, we need three-fourths of Fimfic to be HiEWFGSSI.
1206111
Actually, Ido like to read Self Inserts from time to time.
Another year passes, and I still have yet to see something from this site be fully published and bought around the world. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? WE AREN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH! I WANT TO SEE ONE OF THESE STORIES BE A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PIECE OF PERFECTION!
And we have another year to do it.
Woah. Memories man.
Remember when we had the little counter on our pages that showed how many words we read? That was a loooooong time ago.
1206090 I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, I remember seeing that when I was re-reading the FAQ as I do out of boredom from time to time...
I then promptly forgot.
Eh, there's always next year.
How many inbox messages do you get a day??
1206113 I do, when I want to lose faith in the fandom.
1206111
No, I mean not enough of them aren't HiE self insert bullshit
1206126 But we need the bullshit! WE NEED SO MUCH BULLSHIT!
1206099
Go ahead and count, nopony's stopping you
1206129
No, because I have a nice watch, and I can only hold it up so high...
1206116 Oh yes, I remember that. I read something like 10,000,000 words while that was in effect. Hopefully it'll return at some point.
1206131 Who needs watches? Time is such a stupid concept anyway.
1206130 BRB in three years.
1206135
It is purely for bad Doctor Who jokes.
I suppose we should celebrate somehow.
tha sauth shayll rahs ugen!
Whoa, it sure is cool to see the fimfic of the past. Ah, good... er, well, they were times, at least.
Wow... 2 years. Where does the time go.
Sometimes I wonder where the money comes from to keep this place running.
Always felt bad I couldn't offer my coding experiencing but you guys don't use SQL.
1206136 Well, 'kay then.
I'm just going to stop responding to avoid spamming and getting temp-banned again.
Aaccckkkk... The nostalgia from those screenshots are kiilllliiinnngggg meeeeeeeeee......
Oh look, it's the star rating system and tracking checkbox. Some rough, unpolished charm right there.
Can we have a two-year anniversary banner? Unless there's one right now and I'm not seeing it because I'm not at my computer.
Dang. Another year already?
Congratulations!
1206123
What is the worst one of the bunch?
Probably The tail of pRince martin willis.
1206139
We have adverts and uh, yeah we do use SQL. MySQL specifically.
You forgot that you now receive more hits from more people than EQD making you the most visited brony site in the world, and the 4th most visited fan fiction site.
I practically live on this site. Been here since Febuary of 2012. Happy Anniversary!

1206148 Nah, I bet it's my fic that totally is a self-insert HiE-turned-changeling-turned-super-ultra-alicron-turned-god-turned-Seventh-Element-of-Harmony-turned-waiter wish-fullfilment prophecy legend.
Hey, kightly, what is the first fanfic posted here?
1206161
I don't see it. Give me a link
1206166

1206168
See? The worst fanfic ever! Look at all of those dislikes! I don't even see the green bar representing the single like I got from a troll.
1206171 First story ever?
Status: Incomplete.
1206149
Sorry, meant Microsoft SQL.
Why yes I have sold my soul to Microsoft. Why do you ask?
1206172
I mean the worst fanfic ever. This is one of the best.
1206176 Well, if you look in my stories then you would tell that I was being sarcastic and was referring to this story (my only story) the entire time.
1206180
Well, what is the worst story on FIMfiction?
1206185 I have no clue.
