Feel free to copy and paste the code for any of these userboxes, or modify them if you feel compelled to. You can also ask me questions about them.
Question: What is this "Unique User" stuff next to your boxes?
Answer:I regularly do counts of how many people are using them to give me an idea of what people like and why. As you will see, some of my userboxes have been taken up by quite a few people. Most have not! A "Unique User" can be defined as a userbox transclusion on a person's userpage. I do not count any of my user pages, nor any other Wikipedia page (such as talk pages or userbox information pages).
Question: Why the little "†" in your userboxes?
Answer: It is a link to the userbox page for that particular userbox. It makes it easy for people who want to use the 'box. It's better than editing another person's userpage and trying to find the right code!
Question: Why do you use "User:UBX/" in front of your userbox templates rather than your own username?
Answer: It's easier for people (and for me) to copy and paste these addresses rather than to paste User:One_Salient_Oversight/Blah blah blah. Anyone is allowed to create a userbox with "User:UBX/" at the front.
