Usage
First you will need a Data Broker display, I suggest using Bazooka.
Install the addon (orly?), access the configuration (Data Broker object, command line or Blizzard interface options), select a/some statistic(s) in the list, and voila.
Adding a new Data Broker object
In the configuration panel, whithin the "Data Broker" tab you got a "Add New" category, just enter the name and click create, it will appear in the "Custom objects" category just below.

Importing/Exporting a custom statistic
To import a new custom statistic you just have to paste it in the "Paste String" input box located within the "Custom Stats" tab, and click the create button.
To export a custom statistic just copy the string located in the "Share" section of a custom statistic.
Receiving a custom statistic
You first need to accept incoming share request by unchecking the desired share method in the "Options" tab. And then another player can share his custom stats with you.
Command line
/bs /stats /brokerstats
They do the same thing, opening the configuration panel.
Credits
The alert system uses textures and sounds from Power Auras Classic.
Advice
When importing or receiving a custom statistic you must trust the person giving it to you, be aware that the code will be executed on your client. And while there is not threat for your account you can still get griefed/scammed.
Notes
If you find an error or have a suggestion please use the tickets page on WowAce, You can also help with localization.
Please share your custom statistics creations on the addon forum.
Thank you for updating this, I was missing it.
You are welcome, glad it is useful.
Is it possible to set the default seperator to create a new line? Or do data brokers not support new lines in general. I'm trying to get all the values to line up vertically, rather than horizontally. I tried \n, "\n", as all im used to is C/C++, but without success. And am using Bazooka as the data broker.
How can I hide the "Broker Statistics:" string before the values?
This is handled by the Data Broker display you are using, you probably got a checkbox to display or not the "label".
