Cool. I was surprised by how few people have hats (or rather, how high up on the list you are if you have one), but I guess it makes sense. Kinda neat to see it all laid out. Thanks!

Hi all,

nice work, Carlos!

I try do this on a monthly base in Dan's monthly-thread, but due to problems with the 'j' members page for a couple of weeks I am running late on this :-(

It is not very sophisticated:
- download the member pages (wget)
- AWK out the names, ids, and points
- sort and map to hats (AWK again)

But the extracting the country would need to download the individual member's page - and with all the problems the forums-server has had with spiders/crawlers/bots and such in the recent months I would not like to do this too often...
Though, doing it for the "top 50 piranhas" (Harry or Michael call us that way, IIRC :-) would perhaps NOT hurt so much.

Regards,
Wodisch (hah, back in germany - the first beer after 4 weeks of arabia tasted really good!

Hi all:

I am very glad you like this small statistics... ( maybe on Friday will be update to 100th).

I am sorry Paula, i know you are from UK ( if i donk make any typo, dont feel myself), in next release will patched.

But statistics are for get ideas, and this is the aim of this... What are your thinks about..?

Also, I never aim just one thing when i can aim two... ( i'm sure it is very easy to Dan or others forums admins, and of course very cheaper - in time-).

I'm sure I asked somewhere else, but how big would the bzipped version be of an archive of the downloaded profiles? HP complained that if all of us were to wget the profiles the forum would slow down, but if someone already fetched those, and made the .tbz or .tgz available, I could try to make a perl script to analyze the profiles.

Hi Carlos,

This is interesting :-) Good effort!

Frankly, I always wanted to know the % of active forumers in each country. For me, would be interesting to know how many active forumers are there in Singapore, apart for me and Animesh.

Regards.

Hi Procura,

Thanks for the efforts!

Btw, I wonder if my eyes are playing tricks with me, but I don't see Singapore in your country breakdown?

Hi,

Oh, you are getting the _first_ (by sequence) 500+ member pages, not the _top_ (by scores) 500+ member pages. I have mistaken in that case.
