Cool, a bit of reading and I can probably do that.

What would be really cool is if the same info could be put in widget for use on the rest of the site. Maybe rotated 90 degrees for a sidebar widget. @robert is there anything like that planned?

I think you can use one of these PHP Text Widgets and put the code in widget content:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-widget/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-text-widget/

Okay, so that works but just gives it all as text. I was thinking the same type of presentation as is normally at the bottom.

The code only displays numbers. HTML and CSS you should customize yourself.  The footer style can't be used in this widget. You can try to copy the /wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/footer.php template file content to widget, but I don't think the result will be good.
