Title: Take A Guess
Post by: Trovaner on March 27, 2013, 05:17:02 PM
Who do you think the top 10 bot posters are in the showcases?

I'll give the answer next Wednesday.

Edit: I should warn you that each post with an image gets one point regardless of content (it could have numerous bots or be merely a meme).

No idea how I am not included.......especially if you count all of my stuff from the history of stock Ra2 in terms of content

You do show 6 bots at a time a fair bit but Trov is only counting images as 1 bot.

lol I know that, but he is probably only counting showcases on this forum. He must have got some sort of forum image counter.

As stated in my edit, the program is only counting the number of posts with images in them that are found in the showcase sections (excluding the quoted images didn't seem to change the top 10 posters). I didn't turn this into a contest because the way that it is counting things doesn't give the most accurate of results.

The scope is also limited to the GTM forums from 2004 to now (everything in the forum's records) so you may want to consider people that aren't around anymore.

OK now I have no worries

Post by: Venko on March 28, 2013, 02:09:07 PM
I had a lots of them, but my showcase was deleted, so is the pics in "the RAR with my pics" count? I mean, they all were posted once...
Title: Re: Take A Guess
Post by: Trovaner on March 28, 2013, 03:21:59 PM
It doesn't dig into files or count attachments. It is only looking for the [img] tag in a post that is outside of quote tags. It is too hard to get a rough estimate by other means because everyone does things differently. Although, I've always recommended posting one bot per post and that seems to be what most people did in the past.

i bet im on the list

As I've stated numerous times before, the way I calculated these ranks is not without its flaws but I hope that you guys find it as interesting as I did.


I didn't give you guys the numbers but I will tell you that quite a few of the ranks could have moved around over the past week (although, they didn't) and there are some users that were really close to getting on the lists.

Using the same method of calculation, are there any guesses as to what years stock and DSL were most popular? (1 year for each)

Post by: Mr. AS on April 03, 2013, 08:16:01 PM
oooh #9 for stock. not too shabby!

stock = 2011
dsl = 2012

Title: Re: Take A Guess
Post by: ianh05 on April 03, 2013, 08:30:08 PM
4th most in stock O.o

I will say was most popular in 2009 and DSL in 2011.

4th in DSL... I need to get a medal... 9th overall is pretty good though.

Well done with the statistics, Trov. I'm not surprised at all that I'm not there.

Would be interesting to see ranks 11-20 too though :gawe:

According to the database, you posted images in the following topics:

You're obviously messing with me.
66% of the images that you posted were from your DSL showcase and you still would have made it into the top 10 if we only counted those...

Woo 10th in DSL. I'll take that.

Since nobody seems to be guessing anymore, I guess its time for the answer to my last question.

Title: Re: Take A Guess
Post by: 123savethewhales on April 12, 2013, 03:14:00 AM
The problem with DSL was that that "efficiency building" pretty much peak at the beginning of 2011, that's when a lot of the competitive guys lose interest.

Most of the activities during 2012 are actually from newcomers and a surge of IRL.

I find it funny that there was a huge surge of people saying that RA2 was dead towards the end of 2012 when DSL had just peaked in term of numbers.

That's just newfag BS.

there has been a period of near-inactivity around new year 2013... then it sprang up again.
