Total ULX count?

[Willdy]

I think it would be cool if you could make it so everytime someone loads ULX, it adds to a counter on this forum, just to see how many people use ULX, and then other admin addons could do the same and we could see who has the most popular addon

We've considered this in ways before, mostly to ensure up to date code.
If I remember correctly, I think we always decide 'no, it's kind of an invasive idea'

XGUI loaded?/loads a 'list' of some sort from our site, or at least, 'did' at one time, called sbox_cvars.txt
Though not a true count, statistics for page loads are available through our host.
Wouldn't show true users, but might show how many times servers are restarted, or at least, installed once.

Stickly, that file still loaded dynamically first time XGUI intalled/server reboot?
Meg, I've lost my username/pass for logging into /stats. Mind emailing it to me?

That file gets downloaded every time a server starts a map on a sandbox or sandbox-derived server. I wouldn't consider it at all reliable for seeing the proportion of how many people use ULX (It doesn't factor in non-sandbox gamemodes that run ULX, some servers run long periods of time without restarting, where someone like me has ULX running in our development environment-- which can get restarted hundreds of times a week while we test things)
