Hmmmm, I wonder why it would be so difficult to distinguish between # hits to the forum, and number of hits to the DT, as well as # of hits by members, and # of hits by guests, and then #of hits by members to DT, and then # hits by guests to DT, etc.?

Pardon my complete ignorance of site management and statistic gathering, but in a business sense, I would want to have this information about my website regularly. In other words, I would want to know if it was a fairly static number of regular users accounting for the heaviest use, especially if I my business relied upon regularly attracting new users to the site. I'd also want to be able to track (if possible) the % of new users who use the site, how often they use it, and how long they stay with it.

I'm presuming from what people say about Max, that he isn't interested in the marketing statistics of Mudcat. But his primary business is a website business, so I kinda find it hard to believe that it would be difficult to gather this sort of basic data about one's own site.
