suggestion: exportable stat reports

[VelvetElvis]

Periodically I like to share stats produced by the ACP with the mods of my board as we try to figure out how to divy up the forums between us. This would be a lot easier if IPB could produce reports that don't require ACP access to view.

For the past couple of years I've been taking screenshots, clipping them and uploading them and uploading them. Since I've got over 50 forums, the topic views report won't all fit on one screen so multiple screenshots are required to show one report.

Either making the report tool a standalone utility that works like the various logfile analysis tools or providing the ability to export the report data in various formats would be handy.

Maybe even export the data as XML or a CSV that can be accessed by various external number crunching and graphing tools?

I think this is a great idea. As I mentioned in this post, this could be added to the ModCP along with the items discussed.

Great idea, something kind of like what IDM's stats center has but modified to fit IPB. Gets my vote.
