Did Webstat.net die today or is it just me?
I've been using Webstat.net for my web statistics counter for almost a year. Soon after I tried their free version, I subscribed for their fuller version (at only about 20 bucks a year) and was really happy with it. I thought it was far superior to Site Meter (sitemeter.com) in the kind of information it supplied about visitors and how they traversed through my blogs.
So today I logged in there was no Webstat. So much for my one year payment for web counter service. Instead I got some serious error messages on my blogs. These were 'syntax errors'. Not only till after I consulted my programmer friend, did I find out that the Webstat outage was responsible for this.
I'll miss Webstat and I feel somewhat ripped of that I only got half a year from my one year contract. My hunch is that they didn't hire a good marketer - their product was superior to many of the other web counters out there today.
Update October 25th: Good news: Looks like webstat is back online after an outage of several days.

died for me too. I liked too and I miss it.
Thanks for the confirmation. I can't find any other reference to it. You and me must have been the only users ;-)
Did you also notice the syntax errors showing up in Internet Explorer? You need to remove the webstat.net stuff off your template for these to go away.
Its back up...
