Twokinds ARCHIVE Forums

Just want to say hi at least once before I fall into being a lurker on yet another forum. And I've also taken note of your bot issues and I'm currently coding a bot that will go through the memberlist and find accounts that are definitely bots, ones that may be bots, inactive accounts, and so forth. I will definitely make sure that when it runs that it is throttled to at least 2 seconds between pages on the 2Kinds server.

When I finish I can always have the bot make a text file with the various lists for Tom or Sage to look through. I wish to be of service to those who support 2Kinds as well as I can with my limited free time by using my programming knowledge.

Welcome newbie, enjoy your time on the forum.

Use Fastchapter's New member outline in the stickied thread, just so we can get to know you before causing any confusion.

First post, WOOT!!!

===Edit===


almost forgot some suggestions that I should give you while your here, dont go spamming the forums, a bit of random conversation is ok, but dont overdo it.

says the guy who just finished "first post."

Right, Arachnion here. I do alot of Roleplaying stuff, so talk to me about plots and characters if you want.

Welcome to the forums! Feel free to fill out the new member intro template so we can get to know a bit more about you!

And also thank you for taking the time to help us with our lurking bot issue, :)

Welcome! Have fun at the forums, and watch put for the ... Oh MY GOD!
(Is Glomped by 3 keidran before he can finish)

What? I may not spam as much as I used to, but I can't help it if I manage the first post before anyone else.

Heya Kit, welcome to 2kinds ^_^
Hope to see you 'round the other boards soon enough!

Welcome to the forum ^^.
Have fun around here!


Inactive accounts aren't really as bad as bot accounts though. Those people may wish to return someday :) .

Well 4 hours and 500 members later I have the lists that I need to catch most of these bots here (at least 400 of the members I looked at were bots). It will mainly use a combination of comparing the Occupation, Interests, Messenger, and ICQ entries. But for now I need to get some sleep before I drool on my KB again.

That's not a good idea :shock: ...

Welcome to the 2kinds forum. Don't mind the cold look of arrogance and disgust I am giving you, I mean no harm. You can trust me.

So, you've desided to clean out the bots for us. Sounds like a splendid idea. hope it works out the way you plan it to. I am looking forwards to seeing results of your efforts.

This will take a few weeks if I become busy as I recently became a store supervisor as well as the fact that I restore photographs on the side. But rest assured that I will have it done.
Oh, and another thing that might help Tom a bit with the sure to come massive bot armageddon would be a bulk deletion applet. All I would need is a copy of the web page used(with sensitive information removed of course) and know what browser he uses. Then I could make the source code for the applet, let him look it over, and then he can compile the source code into a working applet. My idea for the method would simply entail saving all the names for deletion in a .txt file each name on its own line, and then simply run the applet and select the proper .txt file for it to read the names from.

Just alerting you.

welcome!!!!!! |D

'Sup. I do stuff on the roleplaying board, and some literary criticism.

Be warned, as I am in a hot blooded mood right now.
