Hey! this is my site - it's not all that complex, i'm just using a sqlite db with two tables - one for stats, the other for all the words that's just word | count | first use | last use | post.

This is a dream I have a few times a year. The panic! The horror! Everything gone. Just the feeling of personal loss and devastation every time I have the dream.

Peer review is easily gamed in an anonymous environment.

So install anti-virus software on the Macs? I'm not seeing the issue.
