Wow, cool, thanks Dutchman!
Idea: Why not code in an option that will allow the user to specify which usergroup gets access to it. And that it only will allow X number of members to view it at any given time. Possible?
And, what about making two types of pages. admin view and member view. Admin view will lett admins and moderators to "spy" on different aspects. While member view will only allow the viewing of polls crated, posts made etc. but nothing else. Should also be less server intensive.

Or better yet, buttons like on Digg that lett you deselect what you don't want to see, and one to stop the stream all together.
PM me if you need a layout for it, I'll be happy to help test it and make it.
P.S. Digg runs this smoothly, and they have A LOT of people using this feature. I guess that have insane servers. :P
