What Counters? Are you talking about the hits, views, or remaining_views
?
Inguiring minds need to know. :)

FWIW, I am in the middle of a 'rewrite' of that product. I am adding the
ability to 'weight' banners, view reports, and track click-throughs.
Other changes are that it is being written in Python instead of
ZClasses.

Progress is slow, but existent; no time-frame for release yet, other
than 'soon'.
