I would like to add that there is a plug-in proposal section on the site here. So if any of you do have an idea that will bring people to the hive, then please request it through the plugin proposal section. I am sure @guiltyparties / @valueplan will be more than willing to entertain such projects based on their merits.

There is also a whole section dedicated to user retention stats for hive here
as well as other sections (some of which are still in the works)

Also, thanks for the shoutout @blanchy.
