The fact that OMG we don't have some stats that we had before that people might like to look at.

And thats the true crux of the problem ... its a take away with no true compelling reason ... view counts, no matter how inaccurate, seem to be a general expectation of software.

Does that mean we have to blindly follow suit? I mean I have tried ditching them, and it doesn't seem to result in people freaking out.
And personally I'd say a less cluttered gui and better performance are sound reasons.

I'm happy if those get ditched. I can always do my infamous bouncing parrots BBC tag with nice, clean CSS3 (been meaning to play with that, but haven't had much incentive yet).
ETA: Come to think of it, I'd be perfectly happy if coloured text as a BBC tag was ditched too. 99% of the time it's only used by nutters who want to combine it with large font and caps to ruin everyone else's browsing.

mmm...I think admins expect to see views, users... I tend to think that most of them don't care.
Okay, so ...what about making it optional?
I think there is already a setting somewhere to collect "detailed" stats, we can sneak that in somehow.
