Statistics

Is it possible to add a global statistics page for the entire site?
It should not be that hard to make, since it mostly only involves counting/averaging rows (depending on how complex the database is).
Mainly featuring things that are "quite interesting".
i.e.
- series with longest title
- oldest series
- longest running series
- series with most volumes
- average number of volumes
- etc.
Maybe divided by type, so besides the "global" stats, there would also be separate lists for manga/manhwa/etc.
Not really sure what is possible and what is not, but I'd love for this to also be extended by things like the average "rating" (which rating is given most often), or how often is a certain rating used... The popularity of each rating if you will.
Besides that, and this has been mentioned before, statistics pertaining to the logged in user, i.e.:
- volumes read / chapters read
- latest manga state mutation (per list?)
- first manga state mutation (per list?)
- rating popularity
- forum statistics? (per board activity?)
Example: my own stats page, would love to know what these values would be when backed by a database like that of MU.

While I don't currently have a plan to do any global statistics (some can be inferred from playing around with the sorting/searching functions), I do have plans to update some of the user list statistics, of which some of them you list.
Just curious though, what do you mean by forum statistics?

Just curious though, what do you mean by forum statistics?
How active the current user is on a certain board.
Could be in total posts and/or activity (average posts per timespan (day?))
Demographic per board (gender / age group), for those that have filled in their profile page
etc.
Maybe not something that is interesting to most users, but nice to know nonetheless.
It also should give a bit of perspective and enables things like "You have read 8% of all known manga".
Or to know how many users actually use a certain board (only the total number of posts per board is known), maybe filtering by using a minimal post threshold (users which make at least one post a month?)
i.e.
Suggestions & Bugs: 260 predominantly users active, generally between <26-30> years of age. Placing on average 40 posts a day.
... Maybe add some nice graphs to spice things up? 🙂
