i was just thinking
after a while such a thread well be dozens off pages
does he always scan all of'm?
cause, that could slow him down, no?

It checks whether there are multiple pages, and has no problem scanning them all.

It takes about 1 sec per page, so it would become a problem if it had multiple threads to maintain, and the update interval would be small (eg 10 minutes). That's why the default update intervak is 6 hours... that's still way more frequent than if it were done manually.

Keep in mind this is a server oriented app. The current version may also run as a clien app (on any pc with an internet connection), but v1.0 will be run from a webserver, so it doesn't hog my bandwith.

maybe slight error overhere:

Koensa has a futuremakr url in his signature, and it seems that the bot searches these to.

You'd better put in some fancy colors for janssens

Bug:

my score was not updated here: http://shrimpcity.spelletjesgarnaal....threadid=60220

my system specs are wrong, it says P4 2.4@4 , while it is only 2.4@3

I added a reply at the bottom:

[mbot]JMke - 20795.0 marks - P4 2.4 "C" @ 3 Ghz + R9800 Pro default[/mbot]

one mark higher then the score listed, in the hope the bot would update.. but it didn't ?

"Last edited by mbot on 09-05-2004 at 17:37"

could the "name" field be case sensitive?
if yes, aha. but then it should have added a JMke entree anyway?

todo:
* debug import code

Development of the mbot website is going well. I estimate it will be up and running by the end of this weekend.

It will feature the new & improved mbot, the ability for end users to configure and launch their own mbot, an interforumcontest page and the source code of the whole project.

Are there any immediate request except an interforum contest page per benchmarkprog, and the ability to control your own mbot?
