Who did create that site then? Hope it was you... that would be to funny... after saying NF was not boring as you found him interesting!

Your snide post would have been more effective if you had realised I asked a question and didnt make a statement that he had created it....

AFAIK, there is no site that analyses the posting stats for TPD. If you can point me in the right direction of where to find it, I'd be most grateful.

Squiming around a bit are ya? We both know a site exists that some saddo put together about TPD about posts or stats.. , I cant be bothered to look for it.

Not at all - you implied that NF created a website "to analyse the posting stats of the TPD thread".

AFAIK, there is no website that does that. Hence my question - where is the website that analyses the posting stats for TPD?

If there is a website that does it, and I'd done it, I would have said that it was me, and claimed by Xeno geek points. If I hadn't done it, and I knew who did it, then I would have said "No, it wasn't NF, it was...instead". However, as per my last post, AFAIK, there is no website that does that.

No squirming from me at all - for once, I'd like someone to back up their spurious claim with some degree of evidence. You keep on squirming, though, if that makes you happy.

Indeed...

That's one of the thorny issues I've been brooding about in relation to testpleasedelete.com - the fact that not only can posts be deleted, meaning that the TPD post number changes downwards, but posts by new users can also suddenly appear as if by magic (or moderation), meaning that the TPD post number changes upwards

Given that it could be the case that, say over a Bank Holiday weekend, a new user's post might sometimes take several days to actually become part of the thread (something that caught me out on a thousand around the 32K mark when DS24 became live - Hi FaQ ) it seems that there's a need to detect the up-bumping of posts (by realising that the unique CUK post ID no longer correlates with the original TPD post ID) and then crawling backwards, possibly for many pages, until one (or rather, the algorithm) finds the new post, after which one (or rather, the algorithm) can start sorting out the correlation between CUK IDs and TPD IDs.

And then seventeen (arbitrary number, but prime) new users get posts approved after an Easter weekend, so it's no good assuming that just one person has had comments approved over a short period - in principle it could take an enormous amount of working out

Which is of course why one devises an algorithm to do it... if the "everything is done by the algorithms" policy works for Google (who strive to do absolutely everything algorithmically) then it ought to work for us

Got to get the index up to date... the new spider isn't done yet, so I've gone back to the old one for now.

Had to adjust the database, as well. I knew before I started that using the TPD post number was no good, because of deletions and approvals... so I've switched over to using the CUK post number as primary key, which was what I meant to do in the first place

The 100K is safe, anyway - I indexed it that night (the spider can be pointed to a specific page, if desired) and the deletion down in the 3000s didn't happen until afterwards

Aw bless, you can be bothered to do a search. Well done

And what part of the website "analyse[s] the posting stats of the TPD thread"? Unless it's a new feature that I've missed, there's nothing there that does anything with stats, is there?

You are the fool tay, a bitter, argumentative one at that. Why don't you go and infect some other part of the internet?

Well Faqqer could have just agreed that NF was boring, or not commented at all, I am very bitter....

And I didnt say anyone was a fool, I said Faqqer was looking like one in this thread.

I forgot to add pathetic to your list of traits.

That is all.
