I've had a brilliant idea [he says with a hint of smugness]
How about a statistics mod to help admin monitor larger forums? You could see how many posts each forum was getting per day, how the number of posters was increasing over time. As well as the average replies per post etc etc
You could even combine it with a calendar mod so you can see how many posts there were on a given day! (This could also help when archiving useful old messages). This could help larger boards assess what sort of people are using the board and how effective it is!
I can't wait to learn PHP and MySQL, then I can write my very own mod [so excited I'm bouncing off the walls and ceiling]
Anybody got ideas for other statistics that they might want?
P.S. If somebody has come up with this - I'm sorry, I did search the mod board, but found nothing.
