Now the stats pages are back to showing pure zeros -- has been like that for an hour or so now.
Hope these growing pains get sorted out...I LIKE fox counters, they are handy and useful and, of course, free.
Foxy, perhaps a system status update is in order? ETA on return of the stats?
Thanks!

I'm the tech in charge of the foxcounter project. Sorry for the weird behaviour with our servers - as you have mentioned there has been a bit of tweaking going on in these early days. We have all the grunt we need in the engine department but are working on getting the absolute best speed we can on displaying stats for the webmasters. This invariably means that at times we are moving data about and this in turn causes some speed issues sometimes. The hits that you were missing earlier will return
as we have had the main db servers running all along. There's about an hour of downtime though while we make some fairly serious adjustments. We're nearly done with the tweaking so I hope we don't scare too many away while we make the fox rock!
I sincerely apologise for the annoyance this has no doubt caused but rest assured we work around the clock on these servers and we fully intend to provide the best counter service on the net. Sounds like a sales pitch I guess - what I'm getting at is that we are dedicated to the job and we have some great techs back here looking after these servers.
