Performancing and Pmetrics Gone Again.
Posted by Kirk M on 13 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Info
Just a short note to say that the Performancing crew have taken their site offline yet again to move to a different server and they have taken Pmetrics with them. And not only offline this time, but they have disabled Pmetrics for an indefinite period of time as well. Not up to snuff they say:
Performancing is currently moving server again. Unfortunately, the metrics are not up to scratch in our opinion- so we are disabling this feature. Please remove Pmetrics from your sites for now. When we do bring them back, we hope that they will up to the standard you all deserve. Thank you for your patience.
I don’t understand that. I loved the damn thing. Best stats engine I’ve ever used. Had all the info I needed and more and laid out just the way I liked it. I don’t care that Performancing became an affiliate of GetClicky, It worked didn’t it? That plus the fact I had recently paid for a year’s subscription when they yanked it has me a bit miffed to say the least.
I’ll get my money’s worth out of Pmetrics yet and I don’t intend to give up my membership in Performancing either. There are some fine bloggers posting good content there but they have got to get certain things straightened out and start showing some decent uptime like it used to be when they had no sponsors at all.
So once more, I have pulled the Performancing logo and my Pmetrics affiliate link from the sidebar and the Pmetrics coode form my theme’s templates until such time as Performancing can get it’s act together.

Totally agree with you. Pmetrics is (was?) one of the best statistics services out there. It totally outclassed its competition. I will keep an eye on their comeback, and really hope that the PMetrics service will stay free and plenty of useful gadgets as it has been always been.

You and me both Grek. And I do reserve the right to give my friends and acquaintances at Performancing a kick in the pants now and then if you know what I mean. Hope they get everything up and running soon.
And thanks for stopping by, by the way. Always good to see new faces.

I actually pulled the Clicky code from my site this morning because pages never seemed to finish loading.
With Performancing I wasn’t very happy about a competitor having access to so much information.

@Andy,
I’m assuming that you were using the code for the actual Get Clicky stats site? Funny that. Even with Pmetrics (same type of thing here) having server problems earlier in the month, my site loaded fully although it paused for a couple seconds when loading the Pmetrics code when their server was down. I did strip out the code for this latest debacle at Performancing though since the service is currently dead. I had stuffed the code into my header.php file rather than the sidebar where it seemed to perform the best. Perhaps that’s why but who knows?
Thanks for stopping by Andy. Always glad to see ya’.

Thanks for the link Rich and welcome to the wacky world of Wordpress.
Pinch away if you will, questions are free, answers are 25 cents a piece though (how much is that in British type currency?).
Oh, and don’t forget to ask Elaine lots and lots of questions!
