Another year has come and gone, and it is that time again to look back and see if there are any interesting tidbits taken from our web statistics.

Fenton Hardy found renewed interest in 2025, but at the expense of Aunt Gertrude who fell out of the top ten.  The Hardy Van also found significant renewed interest.  For the first time since I started reporting on the top viewed Forum topics, the Quotes topic has dropped out of the top 5.  I am not surprised as I never though it's content represented the topic well, and its replacement is more timely.

Very little has changed from 2023 to 2024.  Much of that is probably due to the lack Hardy Boys news in the popular culture right now.  It will be interesting to see how things go in 2025.
