How to: Create a widget (forum and portal) to show lists of members

[Zod]

I would like to create lists of members inside widgets automatically. I can do this manually, but that is a pain. I want to be able to create the following different lists:

List of forum administrators
List of moderators
List of new members since (selectable variable for date/time)
List of users within a group
List of groups
List of members and their ranks sorted by (name; rank; etc)

That is not possible, except the manual way.

How do you do it the manual way? with threads?

Linking it one by one.

Code:

[url=Link]Title[/url]

Is there no way to pull this information out of the data base or flat file where membership info is kept?

We don't have access to the database.
