I know that the statistics were turned off in order to speed up page loading, but it didn't seem to affect a change for me. Were you going to turn those back on? Or at least place a link to them in the Quicklink section or something along those lines?

I like to keep up with my stats! :D

I am not sure. Anthony disabled them and I don't think he's done doing whatever testing he was doing. So, for now, I'll plan to enable them again as soon as we can figure out what's been causing load issues.
