I think they had to dump it when someone tried crashing the whole site during zone icon. I don't know the details, but that's what I heard. Supposedly they are working on bringing it back, and I hope they do. I don't really miss the make a new friend page, but I do miss the stats.

Yeah, I really miss the Stats page. I hope they bring it back soon.

Unfortunately, as Becky has already said, during one of our Zone Icon broadcasts a user was using the statistics page to crash the site. I'll not go into details as to how said user was achieving that feat for fear of giving other low lives similar ideas, but that is the reason for the page currently being unavailable. I believe Jay and Chris are working on trying to resolve the problem but this is a busy time of year for everybody so it may be a while before the statistics page is back up.

We're sorry that the statistics aren't currently available though. It's just a shame that some people have nothing better to do with their time than think of silly pranks to pull meaning that we have to take these types of actions.

Dan.

yes, we still have all of the stats. That script just displayed them.

After an almost total rewrite, the stats page is back. I'm sure you will all let me know if you come across any problems. Enjoy.

ah, Chris did a bunch of work on this one. This one wasn't as simple as it might have seemed.
