Such way proxies that don't load the thumbs (proxies are slow by what I know) AND surfers that don't have images on will not get count!

Pros/Cons?
its not that hard to code up a hitbot to load the thumb. Now loading the entire page worth of thumbs is a little more difficult. But at the same time, your tgp script now has to constantly check if a thumb was loaded by such and such an ip, quite an additional task to do.
