I've just published my first Stonehenge Anthology Game (called Artifakes), and I'm now curious as to whether there's a way to see how many times the rules have been viewed or downloaded. I'm mostly just curious as to whether anyone's interested in my game from a pure numbers perspective.

Granted, after posting and downloading a PDF of my rules, I noticed that many of the punctuation marks I had typeset dropped out of the PDF... so I wound up going through eight or nine rounds of edits, revisions and re-saves of the file, so I'm certain that if a "download count" were available, my numbers would be hideously skewed.

Is it possible that the counts would be rendered meaningless if people were to "spam" their own rules sets to spike their counts? Sure, but what's the point? I'm really only interested in how often my game - eventually games plural - is being checked out, and as such, spamming my own count would be pretty counterproductve.
