Sitemeter's Screwup (Updated)

What the blazes was Sitemeter thinking?

I go to access my stats yesterday afternoon, and they're gone. Just a page announcing that sitemeter is moving, and I should be able to access my stats with 24 to 48 hours. Okay...

This morning, I check out Sitemeter, and login under my old password (and am forced to use a new username and password...I could type the old ones in my sleep...) and migrate my account to the new system.

I am serioulsy thinking of switching to a new counter service.

Why could they not keep their old system running? This is nuts!

Could they not have had one blogger on their team, or as a beta tester to tell them their new system was a loser???

**12.58 PM** I have been using Google Analytics in parallel with Sitemeter fr the past six weeks...good thing, too. At least I have some of my data secure from the bungling of Sitemeter.

**2.31 PM** Sitemeter finally saw fit to let me log in...and it appears to have a flash-based interface...Uggghhh! I hate hate hate Flash!!! It never works right on my system.

It has been 15 minutes...and it is still loading...loading...loading....
