Here is the message I get:

[03:29:58] [Server thread/INFO]: [Autorank] Found Stats plugin: Statistics (by bitWolfy)
[03:29:58] [Server thread/INFO]: [Autorank] Statistics (by bitWolfy) is not enabled!
[03:29:58] [Server thread/INFO]: [Autorank] Couldn't hook into Statistics! Make sure the version is correct and Statistics properly connects to your MySQL database.

The plugin is enabled and connected to the MySql database. Please tell me it's something on my end and the plugins do work together, as Stats refuses to work for me (I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with 1.9), so I am unable to use that one. If the unfortunate happens and autorank and statistics are not compatible, is there any other alternative i could use? Thanks in advance

Statistics by bitwolfy is not finished. The last time I tried to implement their API, it didn't exist. :/ Hence, Autorank doesn't support Statistics (just yet). It'll tell you it tried connecting to Statistics, but it won't have any functionality available.
