New sport folks - Klondike bashing

[klondike]

I've been keeping an eye on the new sport called "klondike bashing" over on PF.
Sponsored by MikeRolls who asked a simple question.

Most recent episode being the unconvincing BS about forum stats and misrepresenting the fact that despite the December 2020 stats being pretty much the same as 2021 usage of his site has dropped off 50% since this one was produced.

Truth is I just mostly took defaults when I installed the forum and never even noticed anyhing about the stats options. They certainly don't clutter anything up - don't care don't click. Phil even had to be given instructions on how to find them. Privacy on time spent here? I think it must be obvious to a blind man who spends a lot of time here. Perhaps the posting stats are an infringement on civil liberties too?

I never look at stats, as long as we're enjoying our time here - or maybe over there, what difference does it make ?
