forth reporting

Regular readers will know that forth moved to a subscription model on February 11, 2010. The good news is that is has not had a deleterious effect on readership. Pageviews for February were 67,268, down from January’s 92,771 but still an upward trend overall. forth’s reach, meanwhile, continues to grow as independently audited figures show.
