Well, boys, something rather remarkable has happened, and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out exactly how it happened.

In the past month, we've somehow gained almost 7,000 new subscribers to the GoNaked Newsletter! That's right. We've gone from roughly 10,000 guys on our mailing list to nearly 17,000! And the strangest part? I have absolutely no idea where everybody came from!

I'm not aware of any articles that went viral. I've started dipping my toes into social media a little more lately, but certainly not enough to explain this sudden explosion. I wasn't running some massive promotional campaign, and I certainly wasn't expecting our readership to nearly double in a matter of weeks. But apparently, somebody somewhere has been telling his friends about us. Or perhaps the universe has simply decided we need more naked men in our lives. Who am I to argue?

Now, before you ask, I've done some investigating. I've gone through the subscriber list looking for duplicates, suspicious addresses, and anything that might suggest we've been invaded by an army of enthusiastic little robots. So far, nothing. They all appear to be legitimate subscribers. I'll be keeping a close eye on things over the next several weeks to see how many of our new friends are actually reading and engaging with the newsletter.

And that brings me to a little housekeeping reminder for everybody.

When I say we previously had 10,000 subscribers, I mean 10,000 active subscribers. These are men who have been opening and reading our newsletters within the past 45 days. I routinely clean up our mailing list and remove people who haven't shown any activity during that time. So, gentlemen, consider this your friendly little warning: click on something in the newsletter at least once a month! Explore a gallery, read an article, check out an event, or follow one of our links. Otherwise, you might find yourself disappearing from our mailing list. And wouldn't that be a shame?

As for our nearly 7,000 new arrivals, whether you found us through fate, fortune, good luck, or a particularly persuasive naked friend, WELCOME!

I hope you'll take some time to poke around and discover everything we've built here. We've got beautiful men, fascinating stories, entertaining articles, travel opportunities, photo galleries, community activities, and all sorts of delightful little surprises tucked into the corners of our world. There's quite a bevy of fantastic things to explore, and I'm willing to bet you'll find something that makes you smile.

To our longtime readers, thank you for sticking around and helping make this community what it is. And to all our new guys, come on in, make yourselves comfortable, and have a look around.

Clothing, as always, is entirely optional.
