LoyceV, is it possible to single out only usernames/accounts which are only registered and never used again. No one single post, no activity after registration, just registered and abandoned?
Not really: I can't know if a user who registered years ago deleted his posts, or got Nuked. For new users I know if they made a post.

Quote
I was searching for something and I saw that there were a lot of them, maybe they could even be deleted especially those registered a few years earlier and never used after.
Many of those users wake up again after a while (and some of them start spamming).

Quote
I guess new users when coming here have a harder task finding the right username if they don’t want some generic "hgga654".
Reusing usernames is a bad idea: what if someone tries to contact an old user, and it turns out to be someone else?

I meant accounts like this. he was registered, stayed for one minute and never returned back, or did not return under that username.
has only a website on its profile and it is most likely an account created to make a backlink to that site. this is one case, but I've seen a lot of them even without website link in profile.

I think deleting members which are proxy banned is a good idea of freeing up some old usernames.
I don't think it's going to happen.

Now, as I understand it, is it possible to download either a complete list of absolutely all registrations or a list of the user for the last day?
Close: it's either a full list, or the last 2 hours. If anyone wants a compressed version of the large file, I can add it.

Quote
Loycev, is there a complete archive of users, distributed by the number of registrations for each specific day? Or at least for every month? For example, a list of all users who registered in June 2021, July 2021, August 2021, etc.?
I didn't keep track of registration dates, maybe BPIP or TryNinja or DdmrDdmr has this data. But if you only want a certain month, you can manually search the first and last user, and get them from my list.

Is there a way to exclude the users that no longer exist?
I already show them:
Code:
1: admin
2: [s]does not exist[/s]
3: satoshi
4: sirius
5: [s]does not exist[/s]
6: nandnor
7: [s]does not exist[/s]
8: [s]does not exist[/s]
9: [s]does not exist[/s]
10: Xunie
11: madhatter
12: nanaimogold
13: SmokeTooMuch
14: The Madhatter
15: [s]does not exist[/s]
16: xuO4k04c6Ng
17: The Doctor
18: [s]does not exist[/s]
19: [s]does not exist[/s]
20: [s]does not exist[/s]
21: AgoraMutual
If you want to exclude them, just do a grep -v

Quote
Or a way to have your script still work, even if the user no longer exists, by looking through archives/history?
My guess is those users were removed a long time ago, I don't expect any archives to exist from that time.

@Timmzzy: please remove my big quote from your post. There's no need to quote the OP.

I my self has been trying to figure out why it's been disabled for this long, was there a big reason for that?
It's probably because of server load.

Viewing all members has been "temporarily disabled" for as long as I can remember, so I made a list myself.

Another reason to make this, is that I often need to find the userID that goes with a username. I can't easily get this from the forum, which is why until recently I used BPIP for this. Unfortunately, a small percentage of users are missing from BPIP.
So I made my own Cheesy

There are 2 versions, each with all 2.7 million userIDs.
usernames.txt (currently 51 MB) (or usernames.lastday.txt for only the daily changes)
Sample:
Code:
459831: XiomarHeck
459832: MelvaBeave
459833: JanieCaulf
459834: VickyVPTD
459835: bensam1231
459836: LoyceV
459837: btc.jobworks
459838: LyleHlyrf
459839: NormaClowe
459840: ForestClar
459841: TyrellKCU

BBCode.txt (currently 231 MB) (or BBCode.lastday.txt for only the daily changes)
Sample:
Code:
459831. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459831]XiomarHeck[/url]
459832. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459832]MelvaBeave[/url]
459833. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459833]JanieCaulf[/url]
459834. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459834]VickyVPTD[/url]
459835. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459835]bensam1231[/url]
459836. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459836]LoyceV[/url]
459837. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459837]btc.jobworks[/url]
459838. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459838]LyleHlyrf[/url]
459839. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459839]NormaClowe[/url]
459840. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459840]ForestClar[/url]
459841. [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459841]TyrellKCU[/url]

This list could also be useful for finding spam-accounts created on certain dates (which means they match a certain list of userIDs).

These lists are updated once a day.


If a user changes their name (either because they're VIP or because Admin granted a wish), please post so I can update them manually.

As i saw in your tools UI, you need a server.
Hosting is covered now, and working very well:

I don't say you should use last posts, instead latest log-in time (Last active on profile page) but as being said I don't think you will spend your time and somewhat potential damages on your computer to do this.
I still need to download the profile to see when they were last active. That's way too much scraping for maybe one name change per month.

I could check the usernames on all accounts that make a post, but it's still not covering all cases.

My main problem is with the Trust data dump (which shows usernames, unlike the Merit data dump which shows userIDs), and this is the main reason I can't full automate it yet. I'll just leave it as is for now, with some manual fixes once every few weeks.

I meant you can narrow down the population of active users (with Last Active time, not with Last post) to scrap data.

I know you don't have data on active/inactive status of all users so I know this task is challenging for you.  Grin

Unfortunately, there's no way to know which usernames changed without scraping all of them.
I don't think so, Loyce. I don't have skills to do this but I imagine that you only have to scrap username of active accounts. When one username changed, that owner most likely log in that account to send request to admin/ global moderators and if request accepted, admin/global moderator will do something that likely trigger that account from inactive to active.

It is helpful if you can keep the username list to their current names rather than initial names.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know which usernames changed without scraping all of them.

The annoying thing is: this breaks my Trust list viewer updates. I have no way of finding a userID with a changed username. Last week, killyou72's username was changed to FFrankie, and it wasn't in my files so I had to manually search for it. This delays my update by a few hours.

I noticed some usernames are missing: goatpig for example. Many accounts have been removed in the past, so I'm now checking 16066 profiles for missing usernames.
I'll post the results when it's done.
Only 33 usernames were missing, this is the full list:
5624. saltwater fishing
7811. goatpig
8701. yogeshahuja
9923. TurboHz
11907. franz583
13272. 49er
177627. xiaohailuo
246300. Bitcoinsalez
351127. Zuzuru
381785. omgimpro0
476360. WolfgaSNPW

584148. MrFudged3_7000
584149. bee444
827442. Kinkingsssx
874436. Bortnikov23

2033129. ZEN177
2115193. GINSASUKE
2130219. WasiqSiddiqui3
2137755. Nhap002
2243672. tojapiotrek
2252792. tiplols
2486063. up53tNovelia
2537255. the_maxwell
2668635. Olinka
They'll be added in the next update, which is currently running finished. You'll need to download the full version for this, not just the daily changes.

Trivia
There are 13937 usernames that start with "MrFudged"!

Removed or renamed. It is helpful if you can keep the username list to their current names rather than initial names.
Mr. Big, for example, is a current username, not initial one.
Is this (rickbig41) original name of Mr. Big?
But there is at least one problem to consider to not doing this. Sometimes, users ask admins or global moderators to change their usernames for personal issues (privacy, or security, for example). They changed usernames not because of fun. In such cases, in my opinion it is better and a kind of respect if we don't show the relation between initial and current usernames. If they already got accepted to do it (from admins/ global moderators) I think we should respect them (I could be wrong.)

Is there a way to list the known alts, or other relationships between accounts?
I'll leave that to the interested reader Cheesy Or if there's anything I can automate, I can probably list some of them.
