But, this would appear to be the best place for this.
I've never seen any sort of ranking site like big-boards.com specifically for Snitz and there's always questions here about what constitutes a "big" Snitz install. So, I threw this together a ranking site that will pull stats from your forum via XML, store and then rank them against other Snitz forums.
I didn't put a lot of time into this since I don't have a lot of time to waste if no one is going to use it, so it is quite bare at this point. If there seems to be some interest, I'll work on an interface and other features.
Each site only gets checked once per day so the processing needed is trivial. Polling runs are once per hour, so if you submit your site it'll show up at the top of the next hour if all is well. There is very little error checking on the submit side, so please make sure you enter the info correctly.
You'll need the get the stats client and register your forum for polling. http://snitzhcd.com/stats/register.asp
Extract the snitzstats.asp file to your forum directory. I would assume it works on any DB unless MySQL uses a different max and count routine, but I didn't bother checking.<

Sorry, I've been busy with work and maintaining my own forum so I haven't had much of a chance to keep up here or with my side projects.
Numbers were missing because owners had requested that their information be removed from public view, yet their stats remained in the database. They are no longer counted.
Inactive forums stayed forever. Now they drop off if inactive for 30 days and their stats are no longer counted. They will reappear if the server is able to contact them again. If a forum has dropped off, its registration is still active and you can see why the server is unable to count it when trying to re-register the same url.
woo.ie has been inactivated. Over 30 million posts in a single day is what I would call unbelievable and I'm not going to register to find out why it's happening. Even if there is a valid explanation, I don't see the use in trying to develop for forums that don't follow a reasonably stock implementation of the db. Whoever owns that forum is more than welcome to change the snitzstats file to take a count of posts and replies instead of the current method of using index numbers and I'll be happy to re-enable.<

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'
Variable is undefined: 'blnDebug'
/stats/ind.asp, line 18

Thanks for fixing those, Gary.<
