I've pretty well stopped developing this as I don't really have the time (time is money) to spend on it. I figured I'd release a version of it so far in case someone found it useful to them. It's far from complete but there is some functionality.
Basically it's a windows application that lets you view real time information about your forum. Check the screen shots below for a better idea.
When you first run it, you will get an error because it will not be able to connect to your forum. A dialog then pops up asking you for information about your forum. What happens here is a php file will be uploaded to your forum that allows the application to talk to your forum to retrieve information. The php script is password protected and it does nothing but query your database so security isn't an issue.
This requires the .NET framework 2.0 to be installed on your PC. This requires your PHP support GZIP compression
I am not going to officially support this but if you have a problem post it and I may be able to offer a suggestion.

Wow.
I can't believe no one has thought of this before! Remote Vbulletin administrating!
It'd be even better if it had more features such as thread viewing, etc.
I love the charts and the Forum tab where it tells you how much % it is from the total forum! It even tells you who's viewing it! Wow!
I love the details of this program, you can easily arrange the times, names, and so much more! Easy setup too! The Who's Online is a killer. That chart makes it even better! Very easy to read and understand. Great application!
Nominated for Mod of the Month.
Great work, it'd be even better if you continued on this project.
Edit: Wow! You can just click the username or thread URL on the program and it takes you there! Great work! But, there are some errors, like when you hit somewhere two times, you get an exception error. But, that's easily avoided by hitting the "Continue" button.
If you double click on an ip is will resolve it as well.
First I can't Test / Establish the link. I click it and it asks me if I want to upload the PHP file I say yes and then it does nothing.
The username password and patch are all correct. And I have verified with an ftp program (My file root is /home/username/public_html/)
IN addition if I try clicking on refresh in the program I get an error message about GZIP. I am using MOD GZIP which is built into apache on my server. I am not using vBulletins gzip program.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
