Neil, I'm sure someone could make one if they were interested. I don't believe all of the old files for it have been deleted yet. Previously you'd have found the custom tag call to the stats tracker in core/ webtop/OnRequestEnd.cfm.

One major drawback to using the FarCry stats was that the stats table gets too large. I had clients with heavy traffic who were getting 8+ GB tables within just a few months (all data in the stats table) and the websites would start to lag (constantly updating the database with each user's hit to the website) - I had to purge the table once a month. Letting a product like Google Analytics (or another 3rd-party product (there are more robust ones out there)) manage this data was a much better solution. WebTrends has decent tools if you're running an eCommerce application, but you need an extra server with lots of HD space. Using a third-party service like Google means they take care of the server, server upgrades, server maintenance, and the necessary HD space. After deleting the stats table for my clients, their websites run much smoother now and their DBs are nice and small.
