[OSM-talk] visitor counter in wiki vanished

[Gary G:]

hi shaun,

from my point of view this is a very weak argument - assuming that of course counting an integer value and sometimes "print" it does not consume too much ressources - how many bytes can it be? probably there are other, more promising potentials?

on the other hand this is/was a very useful information for conributors to the wiki. this way you knew if stuff you wrote is interesting to others or not! now i (and others) won't know...

the cache argument in this context is weak too - because this number does not need to be precise to the second.

so i repeat myself and hope to maybe find some support from others: i want the counter back!

by the way: has this been discussed somewhere - aside from maybe ICQ?

cheers 

gerhard
