We already did this last year, but I thought it would be fun to do it again and see how the site is growing. All the stats are provided by Google Analytics, which we've been using since the beginning of the site. For visits and pageviews, I'll include the data for the past two years as well so we can compare.

2009 - 1,654,906
2008 - 904,830

As you can see, the site is still growing at a great pace from year to year. On last year's post, I said that we have had a few bumps with server downtime, but I think this year was even worse, since I can see on the stats at least three major gaps of complete downtime, specially a two week long downtime on May that took away a lot of the momentum we had.
All of these has been possible thanks to your uploads, your support and your contributions, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all and hope that 2010 is even better than 2009!
If you guys are interested in any other specific stat, let me know and I'll see if we can get it from here.
