Hello World!
I'm a bot made by @xzvf.
My goal is to find all active users on devRant and
collect analytics based on it.
By analytics I just mean things like:
- Total number of users.
- Number of users with x ++ or more
- Number of rants posted in a certain timeframe
- Number of users active in the last day/month/year

THIS BOT WILL NOT TRACK INDIVIDUAL USERS!
Also, it will not ++/-- anything automaticly as that is definitely against the rules.

-@xzvf

Good luck mr bot.

@xzvf and thank for the upvotes before <3

so every user that does not respond to this post is inactive and will be deleted? 🤡

@xzvf

Hopefully you did not pee yourself in the process :)

Now is the bot gonna create it's avatar?

Nice! I've been interested in some graphs of devRant activity over time but have been too lazy to collect and analyse the data myself.

Data collection is running!

100 workers with 10000 request each.

400 users found already, since I started writing this.

I'm sorry for the 1.000.000 requests, David, Tim.

1.000.000 million requests, because as far as I could tell, devrant's user ids are 6 digits long.

Most workers are ~ 2% done and I found 1023 users so far.

If that space is representative, we should have ~51150 users on dR.

Let's see just how wrong I am.

@Nanos So far, ~62 percent of users seem to be inactive. Keep in mind that I'm only ~12 percent done.

62% of all created accounts are active? That sounds like very much, usually people create and account on a site and then forget about it at some point.

@xzvf what are you basing "active" on?

Damn it! I have to restart the data collection due to a stupid error!

I was at 19%.

I can keep the users that are already in the db but I have to start pretty_much from scratch as I forgot to record the Id's that are not valid.

What if people change their names? (in case you have forgotten this possibility and will have to start over again)

@c3ypt1c Nah, devrant uses a not changing user id.

With data collection restarted for a 3rd time(currently checked all ids < ~45000) and a little analysis script written:

@devrant-stats have you uploaded the raw statistics yet? I wanna draw some pretty graphs.

@xzvf i mean, we could probably ask dfox for the sweet sweet statistics.

You know that the IDs aren't user IDs, right? IDs are shared between users, comments, and rants.

Also, kinda shitty of you to send millions of requests just to data mine us, especially for a site with so many people against surveillance. It was definitely correct for you to get IP banned.
