Topic: "PunBBig" - PunBB boards stats!

My last project is soon finished! :)

I've been working on a "punbb-big-boards" (like www.big-boards.com, but for PunBB-boards). What I got so far is the list, a per-board info page and some general stats. Click the thumbs for a closer look:

Edit: Open for public now, the url is: punbbig.shacknet.nu

What do you think? Is there anything missing? Somethings wrong/stupid? Is "Growth" a good word for describing "new posts/topics/users per day"? "PunBBig" sounds weird... what should I name it?

One thing that comes to mind is the ability to submit new sites. You could just do a simple mail form that informs you so you can check it out and approve/discard it.

Yeah, it turned out really great! Took quite some time to do it though, it's a bit tricky building an image from scratch :)

Well, studying is less important than programming ;P

Re: "PunBBig" - PunBB boards stats!

This site will rank the biggest punbb boards, is that correct?  How about the most active?  Some boards may be just starting out, but may have heaps of active discussions...

Whereas some boards may be huge (perhaps ported over from and old board), but is dead...

It's a good idea. Chacmool could periodically check the number of users and guests online.

That sounds like a good idea yes :)

Though, it's gonna need alot of checks to get some reliable info since the onlinelist changes all the time. It would be much easier to have an own stats-info-page which could show info like: "amount of users who visited the forum within a day/week/month" and so on.

A perl script "opens" the forums and parse the html-code for statistics each night. There are some different ways to do it: parse the index-page, or extern.php. I'm also working on an own stats-file people could use to make it easier for me. This one could also include more info than I can fetch from the original files.

Re: "PunBBig" - PunBB boards stats!

Releasing it public now! See it as a beta or somerhing; there's probably some more stuff left to do, and much other things that you want me to do :)

I'm still working on my own stats-parser, but it's should be almost done. If you want to, download it from the "Add board" page and tell me you're using it in the forums.

The url is: punbbig.shacknet.nu

Hmm.. I think the colors are a little too light. The tables are difficult to see on my TFT screen.

I dunno if anybody else has this problem, but on my comp the text at the bottom of the page is all scrunched up. http://www.nxor.org:8001/res/images/messed.png

Otherwise cool!
