I've added a new page to the site which calculates some statistics about the forums and photo gallery (look for the "Stats" link at the top of the page):

Sim, the STATS addition made my day!! I love all kinds of statistics, and to see all the different categories was wonderful. The work that you do on this site is amazing.
Hehe - I'm a stats freak too (can't you tell?).
If there's any other stats you think would be useful or interesting - let me know!

I'll have a look at it and see if there's an easy and meaningful way to do this (might have to be an average of comments or views per photo).
BTW. I'm thinking of completely rebuilding the comment section of the gallery and somehow making it much more integrated with the rest of the forums (although this is a longer term project - not a quick change).
Ideally I'd like to be able to make posting a photo work like posting a thread, and then we can have a discussion about the photo and have it show up in the updated threads search etc. I'm just a little worried that this would flood the forum area with a lot more updates than we currently get ... so we would need to be able to filter out the noise and just get updates for those things we are interested in somehow.
Still thinking through the details there.
Are you referring to the stats page?
The filter I use for the "Users who have been here the longest (and are still active)" stats is: users who have an valid account, and who have logged in to the site within the past 30 days and who have made at least 100 posts.
omg, Al has knocked Writhedhornbill from top spot in most photos posted!!!!
