Belated Birthday Wish
Mon, 6 Mar 2000, 07:33 pmDid anyone else realise that the website's second birthday passed without notice?
The ITA website was formally launched on the 1st March 1998. Since that date the site has recorded more than 18,000 hits - an average of 24 per day. A hit is recorded each time someone visits the website. Over the last few months that figure has been closer to 40 hits per day.
The busiest section on the ITA website is the Green Room Gossip area. Altogether there have been more than 2,300 messages posted on the message boards; they're currently growing at something like 5 posts per day!
All this has been accomplished with great assistance from the ITA committee and Informed Technology but, i'm ashamed to say, very little support from most clubs. To date, i've only seen three club newsletters that have listed the ITA web address. I'm yet to see a club reproduce the address in a programme for a show.
connect with your local theatre

Two lines on each programme or newsletter; it's not much to ask. My birthday wish for the site is that more clubs will get directly behind this endeavour and support it.
Cheers

It's all the fault of these naughty people that keep mailing directly to the list instead of posting their messages and replies on the website - including yours truly who replied to a message sent directly to the list by Stephen.

The title might apply very well on many, if not most, websites. I believe it is not very applicable here.
On most websites the content is strictly controlled by the web administrator who physically publishes everything. The ITA website is more like an open channel, where many people can publish their own views. Whilst i have probably been the largest contributor to discussion, a quick scan of the stats page reveals that my messages account for only 20% of what appears on the boards.
As far as the domain and server space is concerned, www.theatre.asn.au is registered to the ITA, not me.
Although it probably doesn't appear so, i effectively have no more power here than anyone else.

PS. I'll see if i can't copy and paste Max's message on the boards.
