Miscellaneous Hacks - XYZ Simple Forum Statistics using Google API

Description:

I am always amazed to see how very linearly my forum grows. I believe that most online forum show such a linear growth pattern. If you like this product, let me know the url of your stats page. I would love to see the growth of other forums. :-)

This small addon uses the Google Visualization API to show some basic statistics of your vbulletin forum.
The total number of posts, threads and members is queried daily with a scheduled task.

Installation is straight-forward and does not include any template edits.

Your mod says "Re-usable code"

Would it be OK for someone else to take your mod/code and update it to work on 4.0.x?
