Realtime user numbers and stats on mylot

Are you a statistics fan? On some websites I like seeing some numbers that reflect realtime activity. For example, something like: There are right now 100 visitors online at mylot including 68 logged in members. There have been a total of 400 discussions started today and 3686 replies and 5045 comments. This makes it interesting. Would you like to see stats like this on mylot? Or am I the only stats nerd here...

I do like statistics and I would sometimes find it useful to know how many users were logged in, though I'm not sure how accurate a guide that might be to how many people are actually active - I am often logged in when I am away from the machine, for example. For my own interest, I do record most days how many discussions have been posted and also the number of responses and comments because those figures are easy enough to obtain. For example, so far this month (July 2018), there has been an average of 250 discussions per day, 2645 responses and 5231 comments. In other words, on average, there are about 10 responses per discussion and 2 comments per response. Last July's daily averages, for comparison, were 299 discussions, 2,933 responses and 5,441 comments. On the whole, though the number of discussions posted has dropped since I started recording (April 2016), there has been a steady rise in the activity per discussion, which I find encouraging. @MyLotBugs is the person who would be the one to implement your suggestion but I am wondering where one might usefully include those figures on the interface. Part of the point of the redesign of the site in 2013 was to make it more compatible with the small screens of mobile phones and to reduce 'clutter'.

I don't think it will be useful in the true sense but will be interesting!

Yes, just general numbers and nothing specific is what I was thinking.
