 * Testing this on a dev server with WP_DEBUG enabled, the following warning appears
   in Settings > WP Maintenance Mode > Modules >> Subcribe > Stats:
 * `Notice: wpdb::prepare was called incorrectly. The query argument of wpdb::prepare()
   must have a placeholder. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.(
   This message was added in version 3.9.) in /var/www/myserver.com/html/wp-includes/
   functions.php on line 3560`
 * It doesn’t seem to break any functionality at first glance, at least.

 * Simple- I stopped using the plugin 🙂
 * I only had a temporary need for it
