Correct. The way the highscores system stores data would need to be changed to accommodate this.

I could set up something that posts the stats in a topic every month. I think that would be pretty cool.

Most games that have things like this don't use them for lifetime rankings though. Instead they work on shorter timespans to encourage competition and give everyone a chance. So every month they publish a top ranking for that month alone. Might be better than to just publish the totals every month.

Could hold monthly competitions, which could also be used to implement a king of the skill system that people wanted a while back

This would be great idea, but like you mentioned before if it's a competition it would be an unfair advantage for those who don't have max gear of completionist capes.

This would be a fantastic idea, maybe set a date each month where information is shown on, boss kills, boss drops, pvp kills, deaths etc? This would give a great insight into how much is actually coming into the server in drops and maybe how active or inactive pking is?

Meh. Could say the same about xp gained in a month since prems have bonus xp, thus making it unfair for non prems.
It should make sense for maxed/comped players to always have a top rank. It also creates competition for those who are fully maxed and bored, plus it encourages newer people to get good gear for the "meta" so they can compete too.

This would give a great insight into how much is actually coming into the server in drops and maybe how active or inactive pking is?

Trust me, Rapsey definitely already knows :P

See I would love for the results of the current total kills and top listed kills so far, I think it would be a great insight because I'm sure many people would aim to go above and beyond on that.
