VN emote usage statistics

[Fred the Barber]

We need them. Most interesting metric is probably "uses per day", say for the last week. Paging @Flutterz for his forum-scraping code.

Based on unbiased random sample totally biased gut feel, I bet  is winning on daily usage since its introduction, so kudos to @TexasDice for that one. I've certainly used it a lot already.

let's see if quoting doubles the number

I'm obviously going to modify the code to special-case remove this thread, but I better not tell anybody or they'll start doing this in other threads.

Wait, no, my inner voice is leaking out again!

I guess you just miss me that much this week. It's okay, we can be gay together this weekend when we watch gay girls be super gay with Yosakoi.

I think my VN emote usage order would be like

I feel like  ,  ,  and  are the most used ones.

Just let me say it's awesome and I have seen it 3 times  

[Funyarinpa]

BTW where was the last emote request thread? I remember posting in it...

Spoiler

I want to make sure that I was the one who recommended

Sadly, the credit for the emoticon goes to LinovaA

Ahh, let me correct my earlier statement: I think  is probably winning among the newly-introduced ones. I don't know how it fares among its senpai, but I would bet on it being top 10, though probably not top 5. But data, data, I need data... @Flutterz@Flutterz@Flutterz, I summon thee!

Unfortunately my code stopped working with the IPB4 update  It relied heavily on the fact that there was a list you could go to to see all the members - a "members list", if you will - to function.

Edit: actually nevermind, there is a way to get a list of members. http://forums.fuwanovel.net/search/?type=core_members However my code is still virtually useless because it parses the html and looks for likes, and the html has changed and you're not looking for likes. I can give you a rundown of what you'd need to do to get what you want though.

What the heck? @Down is still ahead of me in post count? I hate this world.

Why so @Down about it?

I get that it doesn't do the same thing, or even necessarily a similar thing, but having a starting point is probably still going to be better than starting from scratch. Given my current state of funemployment, I have nothing but time right now to go make it work (except when interviewing - which sucks).

I do think it'll be easier to start from scratch to be honest, but if you want it anyway http://a.pomf.cat/ckjziq.zip , this has all the code and all the outputs it produced back when I used it last summer. Just keep in mind that my comments might be a little... sparse.

In case you have a change of heart and decide to save yourself the suffering of going through my code or Java isn't your thing, here's what I'd do:

 

Spoiler

 

1. Get a full list of member IDs (1234-username) by crawling the members list I linked

2. Put those into the url for a user's content

3. Find all the emoticons on each page of a user's post content and save them along with the datetime of the post it's part of

4. Do that for every page of every user's content page

Am I the only one who uses  a lot?

Nope. I use it a lot too.

If anyone notices a swelling rod poking against their browser window, it's probably my ego.

So, is this happening? Cause I have a week free and could do it if you're busy with interviews and whatnot

@Flutterz yeah, I've done absolutely nothing on it, so go for it. I'm honestly terrible about doing any kind of software work outside of my job - I think the sum total of what I've done in the last few years was spending half hour making a VNDB API client. I thought maybe while I didn't have a job that'd change, but it's only been a few weeks and my brain hasn't quite shifted out of that mode yet apparently (possibly because of ongoing interviews and whatnot).

[Flutterz]

Okay, code seems to be done, now I'm just waiting for Eclipse to install on my mom's computer so that I can run it there (my computer has a tendency to crash every now and then, and based on what I've seen it's going to take a while).
