PrintWere you the 3 MILLIONTH UNIQUE VISITOR to Halos Heaven? We are not computer techs who can tweak the numbers... we have had a neutral, third-party Sitemeter installed here since day one and our sitemeter has recorded the three millionth unique visitor to this site tonight!
We have 3,820 registered members (205 of whom have been banned) as of tonight and if you are a member of the community here, realize that a lot of people come here to read what YOU have to say.
We had a nice traffic boost in the past year from SBN's partnering with Yahoo! Sports and CBS Sports but it is the content that we as a community produce that makes it easy to say we are the Number One Angels Fan Site... But the neutral SiteMeter compiles the stats and confirms this fact and all of the boasting that can be done about it: most visitors, most traffic, most members, most posters, most comments, and best looking bloggers ... united and divided in discussing the team we love every day. Congratulations to every member of our community and thanks for visiting.

Congrats to HH...
I’ve only been here 6 months or so and am mainly active during game threads, but I check the site and love the content. I had been to the other sites over my years of Angel fandom, but never felt compelled to join. I also never felt like I could be a part of the community on those sites and always felt like I was an outsider “privileged” to receive their content. But not at Halos Heaven, I was welcomed and felt at home here from the moment I registered. So, cheers to the guys (and girls?) who run the site and cheers to all of you who make up the great community here!

But is it neutral?
I really want neutral.
(Seriously, congrats to everybody!)
Had I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could have saved America.
What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

No, my friend.
As with any tale of any man whose overwhelming cacoethes for the infinite beauty of polarity was ripped from his mortal flesh…and left his cold, soulless, bones to walk their solitary steps on the anguished journey into the desparate valley of neutrality…mine began with a woman.

you're either really old
or really weird… and I know you’re not that old. :-]
but always amusing
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
According to my offspring, I am extremely both.
And, as they are want to demonstrate, they are much smarter than I am, therefore it must be true.
(Twenty bucks sez that I am the very first person, despite more than 3,000,000 visitors, to use the word “cacoethes” on HH!!)

Your word-smithing
bespeaks your idiosyncratic weltanschauung, S.
(1st to use weltanschauung?)
Speaking of wierd: As Hunter Thompson used to say: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” So what do you do when you’re weird AND old? Shoot yourself out of a cannon?
The future looks bright!

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

You, sir, have completely missed the Zack Brannigan joke.

Easy to do. I had to look up "Zapp" Brannigan just now.
To my dismay, I never watched Futurama. Too bad. Zapp seems like my kind of guy.

Oops. I meant Zapp. Teach me to type that early.

Celebrate good times – come on!
Seriously, though – there are many times at which I am grateful to be an Angel fan. Some of which occur when I leave the Big A after a splendid victory over a despised foe – some occur when I reflect on the fact that I am living the prime of Halos History, in which there is a first class team just down the road and no one has caught onto that fact yet – and some occur when I drop into this site for the 50th time on any given day and find oodles of new contributions, many of which are supplied by stat-heads and other geeks…
Whereas I gander upon the other baseball SBN sites and upon opening them…. hear naught but crickets…
Does my chosen team seriously bring forth the numerical and analytical elite? If so, thank you lord!

There's a party goin' on right here.
A celebration to last throughout the year.

Great content
is what keeps me coming back. I’m a newcomer who found the site through Yahoo, and now I view the site a couple times a day.
Congrats and thank you to Rev, WiiHalo, rghan, and all of the other frequent contributors for making this site an intelligent, informative, and witty outlet for Angel nerds.
We’ve come out of the shadows in the past ten years and we have a site that represents us properly.
Congrats, Rev.
For those of us that have been around here a while – it seems really stunning that the move from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 came so damn quick.
I really have enjoyed the work of the newer admins of late: WiHaloFan and rghan particularly, as well as all of the good work on the minors from a couple of folks that I can’t recall now.
Thanks to all and see you more often once the season gets rollin’.
RIP Nick...

Thanks for all your hard work Rev, WiHalofan
and to everyone else who makes this the best Angels site on the web
First of all, I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength...
oops, wrong speech.

Wow... we've lost 7 of the 10 subjects of those posters in just two years.
Vlad, Frankie, Rex, Thunder, Figgy, Speier, and GA.
At least we still have Soth, Hula Dula, and the Admiral. Oh, and the bloodied Sox.
Rest in peace, Rory. When I think of some of the greatest moments in my Angels fandom, I hear your voice describing them. Thanks for everything you gave us.
HOLY STRUDLE!
Your link also led me to the “Angels Front Office” series of videos.
Hil-freaking-arious! Who did those? BRILLIANT!
Any HH fan who has not seen those should go there now. Check the “Related Videos” mashup on the right in WHF’s link above.

HOF????
Those are Wilt Chamberlinesque stats… although after the first 1k they all seem the same.
Big ups Rev, Wi and gang.
Better stats than a lot of VC-backed web wonders.

Chalrie don't surf
but he may back a growing tech company with social networking features and a loyal, growing base.
Thanks, Rev!
This is such a great place—can’t imagine hanging out with any more awesome fans anywhere on the Internets over these past four years!
RIP Nick Adenhart.

If not for HH,
how would we know that there are fans in Thailand, England and Delaware?
Captain, there are doubt's...
I don't think I've ever been as engaged in following my favorite team as I was last year.
And that was the year I discovered HH. Coincidence?
Rest in peace, Rory. When I think of some of the greatest moments in my Angels fandom, I hear your voice describing them. Thanks for everything you gave us.

There is further proof that this site is getting better and better
An average baseball fan like me used to be able to post about baseball topics, but the quality of new members has taken baseball discussions to the next level. I actually feel stupid when I read about 40% of what’s written on this site now. All I can do is say things like " der, +1" and “duh, FTW!” and “Go Halos!”
Enough of the Halos Heaven HJ. Just want to say thanks a lot to the assholes who actually know minor league rosters or what a BABIP is.
Oh and der, uh… bring back Rex!
Tape an aspirin on it
Funny, I come here to hit on you
Where does that leave us?

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

Great Job Mat
