I think Dynamo shut his counter script down. The 3rd one is hosted over at TrK's. Isn't it a good idea to remove those images from the signatures of eg. Vuluts, Anik, etc? It can slow down the site, since the script is not the most efficient one (takes a lot of time). I am actually thinking of a nice concept based on this, but I'm not sharing it yet :-) (muwahahahaha)

Use S.L.C.'s script. It's very efficient. It uses the native DOM parser in php.
This one was the one I wanted to port but I'm too busy. Plus I have school.

Just found the repository. I'll try to port it if I find some spare time :-)
