Interesting point. However for someone needing just simple tracking, I think it would be a nice feature to add into the script.

I have used several tracking scripts, and all of them would be overkill for what I'm describing.

One other benefit that an inscript tracker would have is that the link URL would be from the same domain as the forum. I think users would trust a link more (since they don't know where it's going) if it appears to just be a regular forum link, rather than a link that is from some other domain they aren't familiar with.
