Best of NPF: June 2010

by s2c on 3 July, 2010

June has been a really quiet month with a 15% decrease in traffic and we’ve not had this low traffic since June last year. I’m assuming it’s just a mixture of people being away in the summer plus a lot of active members in Vegas.

I’m back from my trip now and have been away for pretty much all of June so have only just caught up with things so sorry if I miss anything in this month’s best of.
