They are just not shown on the actual page. Of course they take stats in 
the background.

Oh, sure, everybody has Webalyser or something now. But once upon a 
time, it was cool and trendy to have a little hit counter at the bottom 
of your page showing everybody how many trillion hits your page has had. 
It seems so tacky now... ;-)

Hey, wait a sec... Why have they removed the "insert formula" option in 
Office 2003? o_O

   Our company has used TheCounter.com  for many years now for stats, we 
used it when it was free and then they started charging (without checking) 
$17 per year. It's quite good.

Heh. Every now and then a Google result leads me to an old site with 
lots of 16-colour animated GIFs and table layouts... Damn it looks so 
ancient by modern standards! Heh.

(And then, sometimes I visit *my* website. And it looks even lamer!)

    LOL! You mean the ones with a starry background and a cursor with 
letters/whatever trailing? Heh... :)

I haven't read Misfile in a while, I should go back through the archive 
and pick up where ever I left off.

If you like stories like that, or just really outside the accepted norm 
stories, may I suggest:

http://www.thewotch.com/
http://www.wapsisquare.com/
http://www.abstractgender.com/ all but dead without an artist now
http://elgoonishshive.com/

less safe for work
http://queer.comicgenesis.com/
http://venusenvy.comicgenesis.com/

and then for the even more unsafe for work, and by that I mean don't 
read these at work at all:
http://www.tmi-comic.com/

and not a webcomic but a web novel
http://www.talesofmu.com/

My favorite scene: Author posts a note he'll be away a couple weeks. 
In-strip narrator does a bit of ritual human sacrifice so he can talk to 
the audience without the artist interfering. Which you only see if you 
mouse-over the comic. Which goes away when the artist gets back.

The guy has a pretty sick imagination, altho it seems to have run down 
some and gotten kind of lame. The earlier arcs were edgier, and the 
latest one isn't bad, but ...

If the first strip is disturbing, I'd suggest not continuing.
