http://www.netlink.co.nz/~mark/netsites-growth.html [still updated]
DNC has said since last year 'we are planning to offer .nz stats soon'. I even offered to do them for free.
There are stats in, eg, the DNC Newsletters which are linked from: http://www.dnc.org.nz/index.php?clsid=1&catid=34 ("Newsletters" on the DNC site -- I'm not sure how stable the URL above is.) According to the summaries the stats seem to go back to the start of the year. Alas, they're buried in tables in PDF files and so harder to extract.

[netsite changes suspended pending zone tranfer policy review]
I got asked on 1 July by Nick Griffin to not publish the changes list until some review I wasn't aware of that is apparently currently happening was completed.
Interesting. Neither Keith Davidson nor I was able to find an online reference to this review on either the DNC site or the InternetNZ site. Keith Davidson thinks it must have been mentioned only in hard copy form. I've already suggested it'd be nice if such reviews were notified a bit more publically so affected people could comment on them.
Well the growth stats are the primary reason I'm still doing it. The other pages merely fall out from doing that.
Sure. The other pages are the more useful though at least to any non-maths analysis. Especially the search page since the current whois doesn't support any wildcarding. Ewen
