    It’s also not clear that any Ars users visited the about page.

    Are weblogs not a thing? They should be able to tell how many times that page was accessed and by whom with a single query.

      It’s complicated. It’s possible that their web server does have these logs but they might not go into the database, and when you’re a large website you might not have logs collected centrally simply because you generate so much data.
