It's the start of another month, and that means it's time for another edition of Bitmob’s Big 10, where we find the 10 community articles with the most views and honor them (and their authors) appropriately.
I love compiling this list because I love seeing the different topics, writers, and methods that succeed on the 'Mob. E3 prompted a lot of the discussion in June, but we had two articles featuring zombie-mod DayZ, and the top story of the month broke down a provocative issue in a new light. Good stuff.
Congratulations to everyone, and keep writing!
