Open the floodgates.. let the demons in.shouldnt these numbers go up as a forum goes on they need to open registration or maybe its too late at this point
this made me spit out my drink lol. these are stats that the admin should have been able to generate with one or two db queries per category, with minimal performance impact. but because the complete members list/most daps/etc. are disabled for performance reasons, you had to do it like this which was a lot more work and impacted performance much more heavilyThis was created by crawling the site using the Python script crawler Scrapy and then parsing the page XML using BeautifulSoup.
There have been about 6,000 active (not total, but people who post regularly) members, including those banned or who stopped posting. About 1/3 joined in 2012. The graph shows new active members by year. There have been no new users in 2020 as @CopiousX was the last person to get in the door in December 2019.
No love for JBO brehs?
So I guess we're the outcasts huh?
looks like there's a cookie handling plugin Downloader Middleware — Scrapy 2.4.1 documentationNah I can't crawl JBO because it is restricted to logged in users. I haven't figured out how to have the crawler use credentials yet.
