is there any way (by hand with a pen and paper or any staff like this ) to calculate potantial activity ?

Yes you can by knowing when every period starts and when it ends and if at least 1 post was made in each period in order to include it in the calcul of the potential activity.
Link for the periods https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/htmlview?pli=1
For the periods before July 2015 you can calculate it knowing that the period lasts 14 days and starts in Tuesday.

OP or Theymos?
Any idea on if the site will ever be back live?
Such a pity, was a really great and practical tool  Sad
Theymos is admin of this site and I'm asking OP(Is a staff member) to ask theymos if he can include that tool into the site.

Was the DDoS directly compromising the site?
Or does the software Theymos implemented cause it to no longer work

Theymos switched to Cloudflare and that's blocking basically all bots at this point in time. That's why the site is down now.

Why forum can't have its own activity counter, I don't think price estimator is needed anymore after a stand taken against the account sales by some reputable members of this forum.
You made that bot for a reason, ask theymos if he can include a shorter version of that into the forum only to count post and activity.

Maybe theymos has intentionally blacklisted such bots to put a hold on account trading?
People are farming accounts and this forum is turning into a spammers hub.
I won't be surprised if this turns out to be true.
Certainly not, more due to the easing website functioning,
we are constantly dealing with difficulties accessing website for a large number of browsing people.

I don't think a single crawler was putting any load on the servers.I think the website used to analyse accounts by stacking the queries, one by one(correct me if I am wrong).
So, it won't make any difference to the performance if it is blocked or not.
Probably, account farming is the main reason for this.

I have a feeling that the estimations are way too high compared to the actual market price.It's an estimator and your account is only worth what people are willing to pay for it which changes per person.

It is a pity this site is down, not because of people wanting to sell their accounts (which I find a quite misarable thing) but for the service it provided to people to let them know how much time they have to wait to the next rank.

does anyone have a cloned site that works for the estimator?

No on will have a cloned site as at the moment Bitcontalk.org is blocking bots from accessing the information needed which means this piece of code will not work until that's either whitelisted for this site or whitelisted globally.
Forgive my lack of intelligence if I may sound stupid but you can always programmatically browse a website just like you would do with an actual user and bitcontalk wouldn't see it as a spam bot unless you're opening multiple threads/spamming.

You can follow the OP's github page and run a local clone yourself.Best of luck with that though. Cool 

I cloned the code, you can find it here - https://github.com/achow101/BitcointalkAccountPricer
However, it the cloned version stopped working as well (it had worked for me in the past).
So that means the the forum has somehow blocked access for it entirely. Too bad, it was a very nice tool.

If you want a private kind of "Bitcointalk Account Price Estimator" website to use with your few accounts, you should probably be fine. You will probably only get marked as a "spam bot" if you have tons of users constantly making requests to check their accounts.
When did that happen ? I could still be using a  bot with time intervals which can act like a human is accessing the website.Anyway that would make the users wait for too long which is not quite feasible.Like theymos said earlier today he did this to prevent DDOs attacks which should be good.

Has nothing to do with account trading.People still trade accounts.
