Yes, the stats continue no matter what you do. But, if you try to empty the log while the server's running, it will crash anyway. At least, that's what the CLUG guy's saying (the stats scripter). So you would need to restart it daily - say like 6am. Not a big deal if no one's on at that time anyway (even when I'm only running stock maps it's empty at 6am).

If you don't empty the log file, btw, then the stats won't be accurate to one day.

If you're a scripting genius, however, you could write a cron job that would do all of this for you anyway (copy everything in the log to a new file, stop the game server, empty the log file, restart the server). However, I don't pretend to know how to write shell scripts (NT or Linux), so I wouldn't be of any help to you there.
