Yeah sure, but the queries can be slow on large tables. For that reason, I would build a cache table that updated every so often for public use. The only drawback would be that you couldn't let the end users choose a time frame. You'd have to pre-determine it before caching the results, for example past month or past 3 months. And realistically, you'd have to determine the top X members/forums to display in advance. But these could be admin CP settings and cron could take it from there.
I like the idea, thanks. I will add it to the future considerations. I have free time tomorrow. Maybe I'll tinker around with it
