350,000 Hits! Jesus that's a lot of horny people

I just got an email from my hit tracker service that I got my 350,000th hit for the blog! That means there have been 50,000 hits to this blog since the tail end of March -i.e. 50,000 hits in about 3 and a half months. This blows my mind. Thanks everyone!

Milestones

Today I received a cute email from my stat tracker service that The Encourager had just received it's 300,000th hit. Wow. This also happens to be my 100th post. I figured I should celebrate this amazing numerical synchronicity with a quick post.

I cannot begin to thank you guys for reading this blog. The kind emails, the friendly IMs, the comments on posts, it's been so rewarding to hear that people actually care about what I write. I started this blog with the intention of giving back to the gainer/encourager community, and I really feel like I actually have to some degree. It's an amazing feeling. I'll try not to go on, but, I really, deeply thankful for all of you guys, and the ways that writing this blog has made me grow as a person. I feel like I am a much better guy for having this outlet.

I really hope that anyone who needs it can take the stuff I write in this blog and use it as one more reason to be who they want to be. You guys are awesome. And you're not alone. Not alone x 300,000, just from this blog.

Eat big!

Some interesting developments...

Dear Loyal Readers,

I'd like to let you know about two fun things related to my blog that I'm starting up with.

In addition to my updates here, I'm gonna be adding almost daily photo/video updates to The Encourager's Tumblr Extension. It's basically an online spankbank, but, it's much easier to quickly add videos and pictures to than here, so, it's fairly likely that I'll be updating it at worst a few times a week. More thought heavy/text heavy posts will still be posted here, along with pictures and vids that I find truly exceptional.

Check out The Encourager's Tumblr Extension

Another fun development is my teaming with the ever wonderful and devastatingly charming DangerCocktail to do a joint blogging effort, thus far called Encouraging Cocktails.

It should be super fun, as he's a fantastic writer and is always good for an excellent conversation. Hopefully we should get the first collaboration up in the next week or two, posted to both our blogs. If you've got an idea for a topic (think gainer/encourager related things that would be fun to have a conversation about) let me know at GetASnack@gmail.com. Encouraging Cocktails will be double posted here and on DangerCocktail's blog.

275,000 hits

So, in other news, I got a little email from my site tracker service today that informed me that this blog, since it's inception, had just over 275,000 hits. This kinda blew my mind, but I thought was best summed up by a little calculation performed by my friend Victor. He wrote:

"Congrats on 275,000 hits! Let's put it in context though. The average male erection is 6" long. Let's assume that every visitor to your site gets at least one boner per visit (I do). 275,000 x 6 = 1,650,000 inches of throbbing cock. We know that there are 5280 feet in a mile, or 63,360 inches. So, 1,650,000 / 63,360 = 26.04166667. Dude... Your blog has caused ~26 miles of erections. :D That's pretty cool when you do the math."

That is pretty cool when you do the math and I am super greatful to Victor for doing it for me. Makes my horny mind think, if the blog is responsible for around 26 miles of boners, how many lbs has it helped inspire? Thanks to everyone for reading. All of you are what makes keeping up this blog fun.
