Trying out a graphing object and have created graphs for all the data tracked. Click on the forum's name on the front page.
Any suggestions about what to graph are welcome. I'm going to get into other formats and multi plots this weekend and see if I like how the component works.<

We do about 500-800 posts and 30-50 new members a day, but it'll slow down a bit in the winter since we're a seasonal forum.
Working on biggest mover algorithms now to try and bold out which forum has had the most posts in the last 24 hours and so forth.
Anyone here want to help out with a forum side part of this mod? I was thinking it would be nice to have this all driven from the submitters forum instead of trying to store logins on my side and get someone to sign-up.
My idea is a stats page in the admin control panel that has fields for things like "about this forum" and "hardware used" along with a form submittal button that would register the forum with the stats server without any other intervention by the forum admin. All it would need to post is the forum url and a unique hash. The hash could be easily done using the sha256 function (or something shorter like MD5) and it would serve the purpose of keeping a unique id for the forum to keep from having duplicates if the forum moved to a different URL. Store the hash in the DB and whenever the forum moves you just hit the submit button and the stats server will update your info as long as you kept your current DB.
It could also have a tab for showing the graphs available on the server directly in the admin pages so you wouldn't even have to visit the stats site to see your own graphs. There could also be other controls like whether or not to share the link to the forum publicly.
Besides the stats, it could easily be turned into a Snitz directory with the simple addition of some category pull-downs and make an effective tool for promoting Snitz based forums. I think this mod would be something that would be great for the next official release and will register and donate a domain name and code along with the hosting of the site as long as I can to whoever/whatever owns the Snitz name if need be.<
