Some ads are PPC (pay-per-click), others are PPV (pay-per-view). This Alexa thing isn't an advertisement that is netting HLP or Gamespy any money though. What it IS doing is giving the staff here a detailed look at what kind of people visit our site, when things are busiest, how much server load we can expect, etc. Personally, I'd appreciate it if people left the Alexa thing unblocked. It's way down in nowheresville, it won't slow the loading of any pages (unlike the gamespy ads), and the only "tracking" it does is for the benefit of HLP directly.

BTW, if anyone would like to know a certain stat about HLP, I have no problem posting that. Just don't take the stats HLP gets as representative of the state of the net. ;)

Eh, you're right. Alexa = unblocked. And I've found the option to toggle hiding ads and still letting them load as opposed to outright blocking 'em too.

As can I.

For the last six years I've been doing general Tech Support for friends, family and random Uni students.
Literally 80% of the hours were spent fixing WinME problems, which is surprising since only about 2% of the problems involved WinME.

In contrast, XP problems go away with a few mouse clicks.

[In particular, the clicks necessary for installing Spybot S&D, Firefox and Adblock. --ITDescenter]

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

And for a misbehaving *n[iu]x install, there's always 'rm -rf /'.

Or 'nuke /' if you've got the same alias configuration I have.

I always found such recommendations amusing, since they often amount to the computer equivalent of telling a snake to swallow it's own tail. :p

No, I can't. Unlike StatCounter, which lets you dig down from any type of stat to find anything else, HitsLink doesn't allow one to find out the IP of a user of a certain resolution.
