Analytics is absolutely essential. There's no reason to not have it.

And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream

I have used Piwik in the past and submitted galleries without encounting any issues from the sites I submitted to.

I prefer it over analytics. Just seems more intuitive to me...

As far as my submitters are concerned, seems like the ones using these tracking scripts are very serious about what they do. I welcome them.

I agree with this. Sometimes I get lazy and don't put it on a site, but I tend to go back and look at where my traffic came from to a site I submitted over the past month or so, to make decisions on where to submit, or what keywords it has picked up.

Can Piwik be used on a virtual server with 100s of other sites on that server?

Lot's of reasons not to use it imho. Google may use data against you.

I bought Urchin for all of my servers as stats on own server are much more reliable. I don't see any benefits from GA at all.

Your data in hands of third parties like Google means giving up information to them and to competitors. I simply don't like that idea.
