[dcplusplus-devel] Removing Google Analytics from the DC++ website

[poy <po...@12...>]

hi,

the DC++ website <http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/> includes Google 
Analytics tracking in most of its pages.

the obvious plus side is we get to gather stats about people interested 
in DC++, though we seldom (if ever?) actually use them in any meaningful 
way.

the negative side: our users feel unwelcome. they simply want to know 
about DC++ yet they are forced to participate into data collection by a 
company whose main revenue comes from that data.

in the spirit of championing freedom, I would like our website to stop 
exploiting its users by removing Google Analytics tracking.

I know this sounds like I have drunk too much RMS-kool-aid but I am 
simply echoing what I have been hearing more & more lately in free 
software (or simply just developer) conventions.

curious to know what you guys think about this.
poy
