How Long Does It Take To Extract All Posts From Omb?

Post by **Sebastian Lawe** » August 28th, 2013, 10:04 am

Have you ever wondered how long it would take to get every post off of OMB?
If you don't know, the answer is 37 minutes and 19 seconds.

So, how did I get this information?
To put it simply, I built a program that's is fully capable of extracting data from OMB, and I timed it.

Another fun fact, out of all the forum sections, Pigflags has the most forum threads (at the time of posting this, 286 threads).

In the future, I look forward to telling you things like:

The most popular thread.
The most popular user.
The most positive user.
User with the most posts.
A specific persons favourite thread.
User relationships
etc.

Edit:
Alright, I now have a page setup for displaying stats. All stats will be posted here.

As soon as I can get a few of these stats working.
Its a long debugging process though.

I think you remember saying the longest thread it took to analyse was my RPG thread.

Yup, of all the threads, your thread title stays on screen longer than 4 minutes.

Nice idea! Can't wait to see what it leads to.

We now have a page of generated stats on the initial post. As well, the stats are bound to improve as time goes on.

Downloading this won't harm my laptop, will it? My antivirus recently expired and I haven't gotten around to renewing it, so it warns me that "this type of file can harm your computer".
