318,433

I just wanted to take a quick moment to pass along a gigantic pile of thanks on behalf of Aidan, Thomas, pdb, and myself for the biggest month that The Short Fuse has had so far in our, oh, 27 or so months of existence. We had 318,433 page views last month, which is our most ever but also isn't really the point; the point is that it's you guys, the community, that make this place so danged fun to come to every day, compulsively, for the past 27 months. I'm continually humbled to be able to write for everyone here and participate in discussions about The Arsenal with you all on a daily basis, and I'm sure that Aidan, Thomas, and pdb feel the same way.

We're going to keep doing everything within our power to grow the site and the community and turn this place into the best Arsenal blog it can be, with the most intelligent and fun Arsenal supporters around. Please continue to take advantage of all of the wonderful stuff SBNation blogs offer; keep posting those fanshots, keep posting those fanposts, and keep commenting in the wonderful spirit in which you all do. We've come a long way in the past year especially, and as the new Premier League campaign draws near (10 days! Woot!), we have a very exciting team to watch and follow. We're working on ways to expand our coverage every day, and we look forward to another great season!
