i’ve sent my contribution and i still believe that uploading the stats, at least once, is not a huge load of work for my (and everyone else’s) network. if the maintainers get back to work and finally make it a useful service, it will have been a good move. otherwise, just another bunch of wasted ip packets along with the thousands i lose in a couple of hours every day :)

Ports stats have been broken for ages.
And numbers are pretty low IMHO and don’t grow over time.
I don’t want to criticise but I think this project had its (big) chance but it missed it badly and sadly.
And yes, I offered help long time ago but no real response / interest, and the site was fixed and updated after months afterward (yet it is still far from perfect).
:-(
