The ubuntuforums have grown to be one of the largest linux forums on the internet today with over 970,000 users. I thought it might be interesting to show some other statistics that were generated between 11/15/2009 and 12/15/2009.
Compare these to the numbers I posted in March 2007.

The title says it all! Thanks to Anthony Lenton, one of Canonicals developers, users on ubuntuforums.org now have the option to authenticate on the forums using their Launchpad/OpenID credentials. The current requirement is you have an active forum account to accomplish this. In the future we’ll look at other options for tighter integration but this is a huge step forward.
Enjoy!
