No counters/trackers, what the fuck? That's two thumbs down.
Unlike 3rd party counters, there is nothing wrong with a counter/tracker installed on a site's own domain... it loads as fast as possible. Site usage stats are crap anyway. Plus, anyone can size1 a counter, it means that you're going to have to scan the html code.
The recips thing, I can agree with. Two thumbs up.
