    Is there any way to tell what words are popular on boards.ie (excluding "the", "and", "it", etc.)?

    While were on it:
    Is there some way we can see the stats google makes for boards.ie, like we used to be able to see the webalizer ones. Do the webalizer ones still exist, or were they deleted?

    Does your salient verbosity know no limit? :/

    A caveat to all those who wish to ameliorate their own verbosity: befuddlement will be your bedfellow in colloquial discussion fora!

    A pox on thee!
