It needs to be styled better. The default fieldset and list items are unattractive. The last 10 threads in a signature is kinda overkill isn't it ? And you've also disallowed specific forum ID's within your query. Thats not going to work very well for others.
maybe , so gimme a better idea
Give you a better idea ? I just did.
1. Style it better.
2. Dont block specific forums in your query and release the plugin to the public, thats just ridicules.
ok , let's waiting others ideas

done
idea:
Style into blocks with rounded egdes or apply a jquery to the display to make it look nice. There's plenty of libraries to use like cycle. A jquery like cycles to display 1 list item and hide rest and rotate them definitely would greatly increase it's value. Would be no conflict if done right too.
See testimony sliders for examples.
10 threads is a bit excessive... most users won't care... I'd recommend keeping it down to 3 or 5.
Good luck! and good work.
I do not recommend using this plugin on a live site. The reasons being:
- no checks for permissions to the threads being pulled so private threads, etc are shown
- no checks for visibility/moderation of a thread
- no parsing of the subject (filtering, etc)
- makes a query for every post, even if the users has been queried already (performance)
now the minor things I can deal with like:
no settings
no styling
hardcoded number of items to show
etc
The main list above those I can not. Sorry man if I sound harsh, but its a security issue.
