Miscellaneous Hacks - Top Posters per Year in individual forums

Simple product that generates a list of TOP 5 posters (contributors) in a given year (example 2009) per each individual forum. For example, the data you will get will look something like this.

In 2009 the top posters were:

FORUM NAME X
- User 1 (999 posts)
- User 2 (888 posts)
- User 3 (777 posts)
- User 4 (555 posts)
- User 5 (444 posts)

FORUM NAME Y
- .... etc

NOTICE: This is a good admin-tool to identify high contributors in individual forum in a given year to maybe give them some award or other recognition.

No support or further development / updates of this product are expected.

As always, please feel free to modify the code as you please!

INSTALLATION
- Unzip package
- Upload topposters.php into /forums/ root directory
- Install product
- Run topposters.php (may take sometime to generate the list)

Very interesting!

Can this be tweaked to show members who received most reputation in individual forums?

This works well on vb 3.8.3

Does anyone have an idea how to exclude certain usergroups from being shown?

I don't need posts per year, I rather have since xxx (I am running a post contest next week).
Anyone any idea?

(Mod is really great BTW)
