Hao Hao Report hits 10,000!

The Hao Hao Report: The best China news and blog posts as chosen by youLost Laowai’s sister site, the Hao Hao Report, hit a rather remarkable (to me at least) milestone today — 10,000 submitted articles. For a site that depends entirely on member-submitted content, I find that fan-frigin-tastic.

It truly would not have been possible without the amazing dedication of its motley membership, and so before I go into the rest of the post, let me use this small soapbox opportunity to first and foremost give a huge thanks to them.

The 500th Post

This post represents a bit of a milestone here at Lost Laowai, as it is (if the title didn’t give it away) our 500th one.

The first post on Lost Laowai was back in September 2006, and we’ve averaged about 2 posts a week in the 3.5 years since.

Going off visitation alone, the most popular post in that time (and we take little pride in this) was “Zhang Ziyi nude on a beach” (due, in no small part to the fact that we’re high up in the Google results for “zhang ziyi nude“). Ironically, the post’s single (clothed) picture of Zhang has surely disappointed many a one-handed browser.

A better testament to post popularity, in my opinion, is found by taking a look at the posts that have garnered the most conversation over the years. Here are Lost Laowai’s top 10 posts based on comment count — which currently totals about 4,600:
