Frankly, I don't know. It may seem more logical to count only public discussions for people visiting Vanillazilla and browsing the different forums, but I suppose users of a particular community would enjoy knowing how many hidden & whispered comments are on their forum.
Maybe you could just keep the count of visible posts for the forum list, like you already did, but add more details on each forum's page? I don't know if displaying the number of private and hidden content is okay for everybody, though. Maybe you could also add a checkbox or something to allow administrators to show or not these "private" statistics? Would it be useful?
Running Vanilla 1.0.3 and have the extension installed and enabled.

So you can see how fast your forum is growing, etc. Niftiness!
Currently, there's not much to see, since there isn't much data yet, but in a week or two, the graphs will be much more interesting. But you can still check them out to see what they look like. Go to a detail page (go to the home page and click the ellipsis next to a forum's title), and hover your cursor over any underlined number.
Any feedback on the graphs' appearance, structure, etc. is welcome. So are suggestions for new things to track.
