The thought never occured to me, but that is actually kind of cool.

Now, if vroom could implement this in the everything engine, that would be even cooler.

That being said, how is this a CUFP?

That's why I voted this -1, since I have the power.

You are right Randal. For accurate counting, a "hit counter" is totally pointless. However, sometimes it is nice to know how many people visit your pages, and since I don't have access to vroom's server logs to get an accurate load count, I just have to improvise.

On another note, I feel honored to be flambe'd by the mighty merlyn.

And IndyZ spoke:

But you can't know that. A single "hit" to an image could be 100 people at aol.com, or a hundred people could all hit with images turned off. The numbers are totally uncorrelated. Thus, it's not just vanity that says that hit counters are useless; it's completely unrelated to reality.
