I wasn't on VATSIM, I'd probably get yelled at again because I went to sleep during the flight and I had planned to wake up right at descent. VATSIM can't save my flight, but the ACARS that my airline uses can save the data. It didn't quit on me, it just had an error message which paused the flight...
VATSIM used to have a website that tracked everything about you called Vataware, but the the owner of the site last year said he was done paying server fees. It tracked everything. What airplanes you flew, where, how long, route stats, airport stats like the last ten people to arrive and depart from, who has flow the most legs to a certain airport, etc... It had it all, and I was extremely sad to see it go. Now it's just a map, but hey, I've got Vatspy for that.
Since it's gone though, my airline tracks all my flight reports that I file, and that has loads of stats too...
Here's a map of routes I've flown:

This is a brief statistic window, I could show a lot more but I'm not. The pie on the Left is my landing prficiency. 74% are good, 22% acceptable, and 4% are dangerous. This goes by vertical feet per minute, with 100-250 being good, 250-400 acceptable, and anything above that is dangerous. We all post our stats in the ACARS to see how well we grease them. It also gives us a G-measure, but not a pie graph for that.

Here you just see the same thing but my landing figures.. I shoot for -150 F/M, and 1,000 feet past the threshold (see the distance on the right side). 1,000 feet past threshold is where the two single large stripe lines are on the runway where you normally touchdown at. Some of my landings on the far right of the scale are either weather, or when I was a noob 5 years ago.

This is only one page of my flight reports, you cans see how far I can scroll down on the right. My longest flight was 14 hours from Seattle to Hong Kong, a favorite of mine, in the 767. On the route map you can see me at places like Heathrow, Amsterdam, Paris, and next is Frankfurt on my Atlantic crossing.

Then this is just a detailed report. On the bottom of this page, there's a map to see our actual route over the planned route and to see if we broke any speed limits, G limits, or anything else wrong. They get filed, someone reviews them and then approves them if they're good enough. I've yet to fail a flight, but I've canceled a few of them due to reasons beyond the simulator.
You should join the Air France/KLM fleet if you're interested. You have to take an entry test (easy) to see what program they place you in, and then you take a first officers exam before you fly your assigned aircraft. Then you fly ten times on that aircraft as a minimum before taking the captains exam. Once you are a captain, you can take a first officers test for the next stage aircraft (there are 5 in DVA) and then a check ride to see if you can. Check rides are a little bit hard, but easy... After you pass the CR, then you can fly that aircraft, and the cycle repeats until you get to fly the Concorde, the highest stage.
The only requirement to stay active with the airline is to log into the website once every 60 days, of course restarting after you do, and there are no required flights to stay in. So you could be with us for years and not fly at all. It's super fun, and there's a lot of us flying (Delta is the largest virtual airlines, and then the AF/KLM partner is second).
Nice for when I know how to operate the 757.
