How come Yves (the y man) is at 45? He's only used this new account this last year and he's way down according to allegro.cc

You could probably manipulate the search feature to get the posts in the last month, and then spider those.

Maybe it's like Mortal Kombat and the challengers have to fight Onewing first, all the way up to the impossible 23yrold3yrold.

Well, it kind of is. You have to fight #50 in posts, then 49, etc.

Is this total post count ever?

Wouldn't it be more interesting to see a list over top poster over the latest year/half-year/month? Or isn't that kind of data available...?

Yes, it is total post count ever. It would be more interesting to see more recent data, but that data isn't available. On the other hand, I'm sure our Benevolent Leader could make something like that happen...

Quote:

Who? Where? ;)

It goes by username. Perhaps I'll update it to scrape forum nick from someplace, if that data is easily available.

Do you have any idea how long that would take (the search feature isn't exactly fast)? Plus the load it must put on the server? Matthew would castrate me for sure if I did that.

Of course, I could just go through each of the forums for the past month and spider that out, but that's still a fair server load. Perhaps I'll write something and just throttle it. Matthew: what is an acceptable request-rate for such a spider?

Personally, when I'm spidering without permission, I do 1 request per 2 seconds.

That could take a really long time at that rate. I mean, unless overridden by robots.txt, don't the Yahoo and Google spiders go faster than that? (for the record, it doesn't appear that A.cc's robots.txt file specify a rate limit.)

Yeah, but they have a purpose ;D

And so what if it takes a few hours? You're not going to be running this with a 5-minute deadline looming.

You should see how hard the Yahoo spider hits, its bloody evil. I don't care that they claim they follow all the current standards with regards to robots.txt, having a SENSIBLE default is much better than hammering a server to death.

Is it possible to rank posters by the number of cookies they've been given instead of the number of posts they've made?

I actually had a pretty high cookie count back in the day too. It was shortly after that system was implemented that I bought World of Warcraft though. :)

World of Warcraft took many people out of commission for a while. I'm still one of them :(

Nope, I've never seen it myself. I got FFXI though (even though I don't really play it...).

I've seen it but never played myself. I assume it's addictive. I lump it together with DDR and heroin.

Not even WoW could stop the mighty 23 from ruling the world of acc. By the time someone reaches 20K posts, he'll be posting hist 30,000th. It's all hopeless! Hopeless I tells ya! :'(

Meanwhile I broke the magical 7000 post barrier. What's next? 8000?

Usually after 7000 comes 7001, not 8000.

I haven't seen it playing. Though I tried something simmilar, and also addictive - Silkroad Online, and I must say it got boring after a while, so I guess WoW wouldn't be disaster for me ;)
