Suggestions requested: webstats4u counter now produces spam!
Hi all!
our counter, nedstat, has been taken over by a company webstats4u. Since the takeover the counter can generate spammy popups. I think I will remove the counter from my website and replace it with another one. Does someone have an idea about what counter I should use as a replacement? Or could I easily run my own counter on the php/mysql server?
Any advice appreciated!

I was going to PM you asking if it was supposed to be popping up on each visit. try www.bravenet.com free counter and it doesn't produce a popup

I don't think we should ever rely on 3rd party anything, especially when we have 2 capable web hosts already.
Just make one, daniel
(or get a free CGI one downloaded and installed locally, perhaps from Matt's Script Archive)

OK, I will remove the counter today and let webstats know they s*ck
already mailed them to ask them to stop spamming. They replied that they needed money to cover the costs blablabla and that if I didn't want the spam I could pay a monthly fee. Well, screw you guys! I will get locally installed 3rd party software now.

Well, I have started using that google-thing, but it doesn't seem to be a counter that all of you can see if someone is interested in watching the website statistics. But last week while being bored I located something called BBClone - a free counter written in PHP
I have installed it and as of today it will count the visits to the clubs website. You can find the counter statistics here:
link to BBClone counter
Enjoy
