The FNaF Archive's 2018 Year In Review

By Retroity · December 31, 2018

2018 was the year that I launched The FNaF Archive. It was also an incredibly eventful year for The FNaF Archive. So with this year coming to a close, let’s take a look at what happened this year, and what’s next.

On February 20, 2018, after about a year of on/off development, The FNaF Archive, which was the successor project to The FNaF Teaser Archive, officially launched. By the next month, I had launched a twitter, moved hosts from Neocities to DigitalOcean, and completely migrated the site from being entirely static to using a PHP templating system.

Then, shortly after, I cleaned up the site and got it into tip-top shape, did an april fools joke, killed the original teaser archive that this site was a successor to. got banned and unbanned from Twitter, and finally totally revamped the teaser part of the site. Phew.

Do you like statistics? Because I sure do! Here's the statistics for The FNaF Archive for 2018. These statistics are from February 20, 2018 to December 30, 2018

1,950,693 Pageviews

500+ GB of Bandwidth Used*

Everything that occurred this year isn't the end of what's coming. Not even close. Here's the major things set to come next year:

Archive of all of Scott's old games
