Since the script is running on the server, not on my computer, it doesn't really stop me from doing something else on it. I just need to keep the browser with the page open, or the server will abort the script. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I've used it since, among other things because I can browse ftp sites with it.

I was going to sort those with the same rank by their total postcount, but in descending order, not ascending as it's now. I don't know which is better - sorting by descending postcount or by ascending member number.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, November 16 2005 23:12 Profile Homepage #0 Since the server went up again some time during this night (it's now 7 AM here), I was able to spend the last few hours making the stats. I've switched from using csv files in Excel to letting a MySQL database do most of the number crunching. Again, there's no visible difference, except it's a lot more convenient (although the switch cost me more time than the Excel thing would have). Also, it's a lot cooler, and I can practice what I just learnt. :) So... 1. Joining Rate As for new members, there are 83 new registrations, of which 41 have posted. In total, there are now 6480 members - this number includes deleted accounts. No significant change from last month.

Activity 234 members have posted in the last month. This is a small increase from last month's 229, but not significantly so. 193 of these are older members, and 41 have just registered this month.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, November 16 2005 17:34 Profile Homepage #10 Aha. I do the same, but use PHP both for the downloading and parsing process. Wow. It appears the server just came back from the dead. Seeing as it is 3:32 AM here, an ungodly hour to be awake even for many sysadmins, that is rather odd. So thanks for the offer, but this time I can do it on my own webspace once again. Edit: Done!
