I went to take a look at my stats and landed on a page anouncing they were making a change. Next time I hit that click they asked me to log in if I wanted to see my numbers…
Jackasses. They have about 72 hours to fix this abortion, or I’ll just switch to some other crew. I mean, my ISP gives me pretty good metrics; the only reason I use Sitemeter is to allow anyone who cares to see my traffic numbers.

HEH: Never piss off a professional drunkard; it’ll only end in tears.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know if the new statistics are any worse or any better than the old ones. Because I can’t see them. Not in Firefox, not in Safari, not in Opera which I installed for the sole purpose of seeing if there was just one web browser that would work with your site.
Good Gawd… if there’s ever been as brilliant a public fuck-up, I can’t recall witnessing it… and I tried installing Vista!
HOTAIR: “EPIC FAIL.”
You're giving them 72 hours? I gave them ten minutes, which I spent trying to work with their interface.
Actually, if you leave out the multiple reloads when their site timed out (which, with my internet connection, hardly seems remarkable), I really only gave them two minutes.
I have better things to do than fight with a website that tracks my non-existent traffic.
Ehh… I just picked that number out of my ass. I also noticed that NZ Bear had been playing bumper pool with my TTLB standing the last couple of days. Thursday, I was “A Large Mammal.” Friday: “Marauding Marsupial.” Saturday: “Insignificant Microbe.”
Now, I'm back to “Large Mammal.”
Let it be noted that absolutely nuthin' changed, vis-a-vis my linkydinks, during the timeframe in question. It was like Bear said, “okay, let's fark around with the indices… just to piss them off.”
Which is pretty much what the moronic dorks at Sitemeter did. The only difference is “The Truth Laid Bear” is, well… Bear. You kinda expect him to screw around with the rankings every once in awhile, but when you send him an email asking “What the fuck?” he answers back (“I know, I know, so do me a favor and just shut up. I'm working on it.”).
Now, somehow, he's got me ranked in the top 1000 sites he tracks.
There is something SERIOUSLY WRONG going on.
