When you load a page on the forums, you will potentially be visiting a number of different sites, as you grab peoples avatars from other web servers. What Google-Analytics.com can grab is no different to what any of those other sites can find out about you as well.
If you use your webspace with PlusNet (or any other webspace for that matter), and have webstats enabled, then you can see loads of information about who has visited your site, what browsers they are using, their IP Address, what they have visited on your site etc... Google-Analytics.com collects this same information for a web site and gives some nice pretty graphs and charts based on that info. You could do exactly the same yourself.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
