Most forums have a statistics block, and I think having one created by the forum topic would be a good idea.

here is just something basic to start off with, to get ideas going.

The code for the queries was taken from advanced_forum.

Two things

a) You need to convert these db_result() to ->fetchField(), see http://drupal.org/node/310072

b) These queries need to be tested regarding performance...

I can already tell you performance is an issue. I don't remember which one off the top of my head but I know there's one in there that's not so good on huge forums. IIRC, AF uses caching to help with that. Or, if it doesn't, it's on my to do list...
