google analytics is an add on to the YUKU..collects data about users- it collects info from the site and users - it's not spam or spyware. it does take a second or two to load and slower processors would see this in the status line at the bottom of the browser. we use it on every web site at work..nice way to see where, when etc..right down to the IP node where the call comes from (it'll tell within a stones throw of where you logged in from, cell towers included)

our web master should have access to it's data- where's brian when you need him?

it doesn't slow down, install or otherwise effect us users of the board..

if you install a mozilla browser like firefox (mac or pee cee), it will delete all of your cookies and offline content so that it loads faster..FWIW- YMMV
