    New invention for GFY

    there's too many damn topics to keep track of anymore. I need something like a big ass stock ticker thing right above my desk that just continuously feeds me the latest GFY info all day so I don't have to keep this window up....

    anybody here handy with tools?

    I'm running this uber fast programmed gfyspider. It checks any page in less than a few seconds on my 100mbit line. When a keyword has been found it pages me or emails me. I can auto reply using my cell phone by saying the text out loud. Pretty handy sometimes.

                need something that would have like, a flashing red siren style alarm light on it for "Moron Alert!" so you could pop the board window open and get in on the action....

                but it'd probly be going off all day long...

                  That would steal advertising impressions from Lensman.

                            or there could be a minimize ad section on it and it'd just have scrolling ad text.

                                There is code that does this... but not for vB... only for PHPbb.

                                another example of why open source is better.

                                  If you guys are really serious I can build something that will scrape the first 10 posts or something.

                                  I built this not too long ago that scrapes the post counts from the main forum. http://www.vbasic.net/temp/gfy/postcount.aspx

                                  If you guys are really serious I can cook something up.

                                        Too bad GFY is the only board not listed in it, its how I keep up with all the other boards.
                                        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                          The problem is, that if you all use a software that autonomously and individually access GFY all the time and follows every single page continuously and relentlessly, GFY will crash from overuse ;)
                                          or atleast slow down for no good (for Lensmen) reason...
                                          How is that?
                                          Lets say 5000 users use a software that spiders GFY every lets say 10 minutes to check for stuff, that is extra 5000*6*24=600K index requests. If on every scan there are 10 new threads showing (on a very slow day), its extra 10 times that which is an extra 6M/day That is even before you went to GFY and actually read the threads that interest you, replied, read again, refreshed .
                                          6.6M extra requests a day only for tracking gfy to save you time (which is exactly what Lensmen doesn't want you to do, since the banners here are waiting for you to stare at)... How long do you think will it be before you're gonna be blocked?
                                          I can tell you exactly less than a day after you get to know that gadget.

                                          Maybe I'm wrong though

                                              Actaully, if you read all the thread concerning the ticker, Lensman and Mike_69 both gave him the go ahead, and apparently even got some pointers, check out my thread, he'll be rereleasing it soon

                                                There is a very easy workaround for this. You should have a script that will write the contents to a file/db on a server then all
                                                the Ticker clients read the content from that file. That way you
                                                only have 1 client checking the index page and it would cause no
                                                load on GFY.

                                                This approach is a lot better than having all Tickers update from GFY itself. Just have it update from the file that is generated by
                                                1 script that is actually retrieving the index of GFY.

                                                  XXXManager, its not designed that way.

                                                  It parses only page one (top 70 thread listings) on the "Fucking Around and Program Discussion" forum, and extracts all info only from that page. It doesn't parse into individual thread content, it just provides links directly to the posts themselves.

                                                  The only load it gives to GFY is as if the user was hitting refresh on that page. So actually it doesn't increase the load on GFY at all.

                                                  And yes it does have Lensman/Mike69 blessing.

                                                    furthermore, it doesn't load any graphics or banners until you click through to an interesting thread, so it actually reduces the load on GFY.

                                                      The single file idea changes nothing. It is still needed to be read by all clients all the time. Graphics don't load anyway in a page spidering.

                                                      But anyway, when you are saying "it", you mean what?
                                                      The cool GFY ticker thingy that was presented a while ago?
                                                      If so, I was obviously not talking about that one. I was talking about what was discussed in the beginning of the thread.. a "new invention".. something that will do more than present the titles on your pc.
