hack to show the total posts/threads ever not just the totals in the database now?

Sure, why not:

Leave the original code as it is and add these 2 lines after them:

$count_maxx_posts=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT postid AS posts FROM post ORDER BY postid DESC LIMIT 1' );

$count_maxx_threads=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT threadid AS threads FROM thread ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT 1');

Now you can change your main page template and use these 2 variables $count_maxx_posts and $count_maxx_threads in anywhere or in any way you like..

$count_maxx_posts=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT postid AS posts FROM post ORDER BY postid DESC LIMIT 1' );
