You may know iFixit for our Teardowns and toolkits, but we're also a community
of people just sharing their repair knowledge. Every day folks from all over
the world come to iFixit to ask questions, write repair guides, and share
their repair tips and tricks. In 2017 iFixit saw users from 95 percent
of the world's countries. About 13 percent of the UK's entire
population used iFixit at least once last year. We had nearly a million site
visits from Nigeria alone. That's a lot of people. All in all iFixit helped a
hundred and fifty five million people fix their things last year. Which
officially makes us more trafficked in a single year than all of the Disneyland
parks and resorts combined. Since I'm the community manager here at iFixit, I
just wanted to take a few moments to brag about just how awesome our
community members are. This past year y'all learned 3.3 million reputation
points by diagnosing problems and teaching people to fix things. That bests
our 2016 reputation by almost 30 percent. As a community you all answered 22,000
repair related questions in 2017. Which were viewed a hundred and five million
times. You wrote more than 5,000 new repair guides which is 60% more than
written in 2016. I don't know about you, but I definitely sleep easier at
night knowing that there's a guide to help me fix my Furby. Every guide you
wrote, every word you translated, and every question you answered helped
someone fix something that they wouldn't have been able to. All told iFixit's
community spent four million hours on the site. Because of you we saved Chris
twelve hundred dollars by helping him replace the battery in his wife's 2013
MacBook Air after the Apple Store told him he should just buy a new computer. We
helped Kim a first-time fixer your grandfather proud by replacing the
Lightning Connector in her iPhone 6s. We even inspired this army vet to
start an iFixit Club that helps students fix their broken stuff on his
college campus. PS congrats on your graduation Ryan. I could go on and on, but
you get the point. Without everyone of you there would be no iFixit. So thank
you. Thanks for a wonderful year of fixing and here's to an even better 2018.
