just thought I'd share this site with you:

http://whos.amung.us

It tracks how many people are in your shop/market place hut. It takes a tiny bit of editing to get the code past the neopets filters, but if you get rid of the link (so you've got a non-linking image) it works, and also, if you don't want ppl to see the image, you can change the width and height to 0.

Each counter has an individual 8-12 letter/number code, which you will see in the image URL. Go to the following page and where it says CODE replace it with ur code:

http://whos.amung.us/stats/CODE/

now you can see how many people are in your shop, hut, etc. It also keeps track of averages etc, and even locates the citys your potential customers live in - scary oh I recommend adding the page to ur favorites. if you want an example of how the stats page looks/works, you can take a peek at my page:

Enjoy happy

Well I certainly could code the same thing but... managing the counters, NeoMallers Portal Lite + Pro, + xmart Mall might be pushing it... especially if something explodes and it's during my exam week lol

Spoken like someone who's never had to pay for bandwidth overages. It's either terribly expensive, or they simply shut you off.

That's the server I'm on (it's very powerful) but since it's shared, I cant really use up alot of resources or I'd get kicked.

VPS plan is the next step up (costing about $40-50 per month)
Dedicated (which boingdragon counters uses) is out of my scope since it costs $100 a month and I'm hoping I dont need to upgrade to that xD

But a bigger issue is time

lol I'm not criticizing you for not spending more $$$ on a server, I admire you for spending any money at all on a free site winking I'm cheap, if I can't fit it on a petpage, forget it tongue
