[Ramster]

Too many in the past have added popups or worse so they just banned all counters to avoid the problem in the future.

LOL :D

[Jeka]

Because they cannot or don't want to differentiate and treat all like possible cheaters :P

[albundy]

the one thing goes in my mind is that when you use a counter you are treated like your host dont offer stats and that you are on freehost or something...

A small group of paranoiacs do that. You can prove nothing to them. That's why your question looks very funny :)

Why would you need a 3rd party counter when you have awstats and/or webalizer on your webhost anyway? 3rd party counters are ok with me, but there´s no need for them. It´s just a waste of time adding them to your site and I haven´t seen many people using them either.

I know at least one reliable 3rd party counter - Google Analitics. I would let using it.
