vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Windows utility to monitor a forum? Useful?

Boots · #1 05-22-2007, 08:13 PM

I started this as sort of a pet project testing out some stuff and I'm wondering if it would be something worth putting some effort into. Basically I've coded a windows application that will grab a 'Snapshot' of a vbulletin forum (ie: who's online, post totals, etc) and display it in a user friendly GUI. I was thinking it would make it easier to view whats going on with a forum and what your users are doing on it. The possibilities for statistics is really endless. There is no limit to the data that can be collected.

Here's a basic screen shot to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Do you think something like this would be useful to you as an administrator of a forum?

Here's a link to a full size screen shot so you can get a better idea.
