I think it was just to omit excessive bandwidth and server use that isn't much of a vital part of the forum.
Maybe adding the stats daily to somewhere like the epochtalk server might be helpful but I'm not sure if they're actually both running from the same server or too far apart to send data to each other via wired connection. A daily update of stats would be nice here if we can get nothing more (as it's quite an intensive operation I think based on how little it's used relatively to other stuff here). Also, due to the DDOS the automated login system was removed (the bot tokens to avoid the captchas) among other things also.
