This is a great feature, and a feature that I missed when I left IPB. Redirection forums should by default record and show the amount of times that the link was clicked.
I agree, it's a nice informative counter. MyBB should have this feature already.
I agree this somehow should be implemented, but in my opinion, in the ACP.
I agree with faviouz
Only problem I see is that you should log IP somehow to have unique hits - and that might blow up database.
The one i am making is purely on a click basis, no IPs.
Click basis is good, no reason for IP tracking - that's just excessive.
Check the plugin discussion forum, I have released the plugin
