In case you need to say it again -- I'd drop the meter/counter lingo, since that's something different.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Are there referrer logs that come without a meter/counter? I've only seen them as part of the various bits of information a meter/counter provides for you.

Referrer logs are a standard HTTP server function. Every time a web page is served up, information is written to a file.
Meters and counters -- well, I'm not sure precisely how meter is defined, but counters have no inherent relation to or dependence on a referrer log.
There's nothing you have to do or install to have server logs generated -- the magic is in parsing them usefully.

Aha. Okay, I didn't know that. So that counter software just reports to you the referrer logs you could view yourself if you knew how.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Lots of web page hosting companies (the free ones mostly) do not give the user sufficient access to look at the referrer logs. For those users, counter applets can be useful.

Absolutely. They just don't have anything to do with logs (well, it's been a while -- they used to be apps that wrote their own info -- but in the page (even with server side scripting), not independent of it).

Jesse -- did B&N ever affiliate us?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No, they hate us.

Even better, I couldn't remember what had happened, so I filled out the thing to be affiliated again, and they were just like, "Um. No. You tried this already. GO AWAY." Stupid Barnes & Noble.
