Forum database mining

[samjjones]

Ryan - are you guys willing/able to do some mining on request? For example, would it be possible to get usernames for all forum members who have "*" as their titles?

Or would it be possible for a user to get a file containing their posting history?

samuel,

There was a guy that wrote a script that plucked every non-standard undertitle and dumped it into a file. He then posted his results in an OOT thread. This was like almost a year ago now. I tried to search for it to see who it was but wasn't successful. I may try again the next time my ADD kicks in, or in 90 seconds, whichever comes first.

Cool. I'll PM Stevie G. for the undertitle stuff.

Does anybody know a way to get a dump of every post they've ever made?

[tuq]

Nick - heh, nice. I tried all sorts of search criteria and even had the username right (he's posted in this forum today in fact). No dice.

samuel - I'm curious as to why you would want something like that, but have no suggestions, sorry.

I searched all forums for "Member # 24"

That seems like cheating.

PM received.

It's a year since I last did this ass clownery, so I'll run through it again.

But no doubt this is easier for someone with direct DB access.

You should probably not do it, since Sam is scared of survivors, and therefore not worthy.

But GL anyway.

Actually the fact that you did this in the first place is pretty [censored] up. So just go ahead and do whatever makes you happy man
