2014 candidates night: Thursday April 10

Each year, the Foxboro Jaycees host a forum at Foxboro Cable Access to allow each candidate for the upcoming election (selectman, town clerk, board of health, housing authority, etc.) To speak to the public, introduce or re-introduce themselves, take questions and express their qualifications and reasons for running for office. The forum is broadcast live and rebroadcast repeatedly up to Election Day.

The Jaycees are proud to present this forum so that the voters of Foxboro have an opportunity to meet the candidates running for public office, and to hear their views on the issues that are relevant to the positions that they are seeking.

The Foxboro Jaycees web site was launched in late 1997, and around May 1998 there had been about 1100 visitors. While various site counters have been used since (most notably stat counter for the past 10 years or so), every effort has been made to ensure the count is fairly accurate.

Adjustments were made a few times when the site had run without a counter for a month or so (and was bumped up by about 1000), and also dialed back a few times when testing was needed and repeat reloads were “faking out” the numbers (the count was reduced).

In general, repeat refresh of the pages won’t increment counters any more.

So, with the caveat that no site counter is perfect, and also that count has been adjusted on occasion, it’s been mostly “left alone” these past years and the fact remains that at some point in March 2014 we will exceed 250,000 unique visitors — that’s a QUARTER MILLION unique visits to the site since its inception. That is AWESOME.

We are grateful to everyone who uses the site, are always looking for ways to improve it, and hope you’ll keep coming back for more Foxboro Jaycee news!
