I wanted a popular content add-on and so a while ago I set out to figure out how to do it on my own as the XenFans one was removed and is not allowed to be redistributed without permission.
Here it is! Raw and possibly useful to those with time to make it pretty.
HOW TO INSTALL
1. Download the zipped file and upload the contents to your forum's directory.
2. Go to AdminCP>Applications>Node Tree>Create new Page Node
3. Fill it out as follows or to your liking
Basic Information Tab should look like
Keep in mind that the URL Portion will be yoursite/pages/the_URL_Portion_You_entered
In this example my site Top Members page would be found at mysite.com/pages/TopMembers
PHP Callback Should look like - Do not change the callback method unless you know what you're doing. Fill it out exactly as follows.
Under Page Options
Paste the following - You may modify this how you'd like but please understand anything that looks like {$myrow#.column_name} calls to a specific entry from the database.
Warning! This is a 'primitive' way to retrieve these stats. I have not finished up a more refined way of retrieving these stats utilizing the existing libraries. Use at your own risk!

My Experience
I'm a novice this was all done through observations from other code, searching, trial and error!
I know there's a better way to table the images. I will eventually use CSS for the whole thing but this is a rushed/simple explanation.

I'm not responsible if something screws up!
Contributions and Donations
Save your monies!!! All I want is people to positively contribute towards this. Add anything you want to it or re-work the whole thing and make it your own. It's honestly not that difficult...
Support and Donations
I produced this as a free add-on (no point in charging since it's simple!). As a free add-on I can't dedicate my life to it, but that should not be the case in any situation since this is SIMPLE! I will help when and where I can but do not take offense if I do not reply promptly!
I've decided that if you are willing to contribute anything for my work. I ask that you visithttp://www.charitynavigator.org/ and donate whatever amount you were going to donate to me to a charity with a good rating there (4 stars).
