I think we need to take a look at other stats websites.
http://bfbcs.com/stats_pc/survivor92This is my stats page for
Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
You can
bookmark players which will make them appear in the left menu. For example:
My Player bookmarks:
survivor92
<friend1>
<friend2>
This allows you to compare your stats with those of your friends.
Suggestion #1: Add a bookmark menu where you can bookmark your friends. Not on a seperate page, I think it should appear on every page, maybe to the left of the normal content.
Suggestion #2: Achievements! A good list of achievements will encourage people to join this website. We also need some sort of 'gamer score' and maybe small rewards (a DLC for free). Some more advertations could generate more income

Fallout 3 character creator:
http://vault106.com/I think this is your biggest rival if you're going to create a Fallout 3 Stats website.
If you really want a lot of activity, you need to create a stats website for an online game. But this is quite difficult to achieve:
- All the official websites have direct access to the player stats database while on your website you need to fill in all the information yourself.
- There's a lot of competition.
In short: creating a stats website for World of Warcraft or Bad Company 2 might not be a very good idea
.
Suggestion #3: Create a Fallout (3) stats website. Fallout: New Vegas will be released later this year so you can also create a New Vegas website! You can just update the F3 website to use the new stats (and a New Vegas layout).
I have no idea when TESV will be released but that'll surely mean a big boost to this website (unless it's a MMORPG, in that case it'll be hard to create a stats website for it, see ^).
