Maybe keeping a 301 Moved Permanently redirect for all requests to *.ts.wikimedia.org to the corresponding page on toolserver.org would be helpful? That way the old URLs would work, but people would be gently reminded to use the new one.

What about http://stable.ts.wikimedia.org/editcount/ ?

This does not explain the issue of the *.ts.wikimedia.org domain as a whole. We shouldn't surprise users and move supposedly "stable" services around, although acceptance of the Java-based edit counter is IMHO low: enwiki has only 90 links to the stable counter vs. well over 5000 to interiot's counter (result's are skewed due to automatic inclusion of the link in the IP user talk).
Localization changes this a bit since plwiki has 232 links to the "stable" one and 2487 to interiot's.
So, I would recommend to maintain ts.wikimedia.org for some indefinite time, since people _are_ using it.
