   It's time for the (completely unofficial) TOP 100 report!

   I am very pleased to report the list has swelled to OVER 4000 sites, even though 200 sites have been dropped since last month due to domains expiring, disappearing DNS or other reasons. This means in the past 30 days, well over 1000 sites have been added!

   This month also brings new features to the list - considering it's now overwhelming size I have added a basic search ability to the Top 1000 list.

   (Top 1000 requires free registration/login)

   User voting on sites is still pending, sorry (my limited time has unfortunately been taken doing plugin fixes for 1.0 alpha). I hope to have it working in time for bbPress's TWO YEAR birthday next month (October 14th).

   This month I have also calculated some additional, interesting statistics on the data to give a better analysis of bbPress's incredible growth...

   bbPress is currently installed on at least 5,000 sites.
   Here is a breakdown of bbPress forums by total posts:
   

   Posts 		Count
   ---------------------
   0 - 99		3,000+
   100 - 999	 640
   1,000 - 4,999	 180
   5,000 - 9,999	  52
   10,000 - 49,999	  44
   50,000 - 99,999	  12
   100,000 - 499,999  7
   500,000 - 999,999  2

   
   By my calculations, a bbPress forum will break a million posts by the end of this year!

   A new feature this month is an analysis of Server and PHP software popularity. What's interesting is how Apache use is slowly being eroded by other options. Also, PHP4 is still VERY popular (1 in 3 servers use it!)
   

   Server Popularity (alphabetical order)
   ----------------------------------------
   Abyss/2.0.0.20-x2-win32 : 2
   Apache : 800+
   Apache/1.3 : 900+
   Apache/2 : 40+
   Apache/2.0 : 800+
   Apache/2.2 : 1000+
   Ideawebserver/v0.50 : 3
   Lighttpd/1.4 : 15
   Litespeed : 20
   Microsoft-IIS/5.0 : 12
   Microsoft-IIS/6.0 : 80+
   Microsoft-IIS/7.0 : 2
   Nginx : 19
   Nginx/0.3 : 2
   Nginx/0.5 : 17
   Nginx/0.6 : 10
   Nginx/0.7 : 2
   Webserverx : 16
   Zeus/4.3 : 2

   
   (abnormalities and unknown entities have been dropped)
   

   PHP Popularity (by version)
   -----------------------------
   4.3 : 200+
   4.4 : 900+
   5.0 : 40~
   5.1 : 200+
   5.2 : 2000+

   September also features the first site to be purposely excluded from the listings. Not that I am passing judgement on it as there are some other dubious sites that remain on the list, but the content is not their own.

   find-answers.net

   It's impressive in that someone wrote a a Usenet to bbPress gateway. But its not right to include it on the list since there will be millions of posts in no time at all and they use a fake subdomain for each group.

   At least it proves bbPress can handle such a load. They are going to really want my Super-Search plugin (not released yet).

   However I do wish they'd share the code they made to accomplish that, especially considering they seem to be using my theme, my plugins, my favicon, etc.

   (What I really want is a Mailman to bbPress gateway!)
