These are all the deleted threads with a reason.

Some stats:
4585 deleted threads (with a reason)
349 contain 'previously'
192 contain 'double'
106 contain 'self' and 'link'

I'm currently running a script thats counting the biggest offenders. Go go gadget python!

I ran the script but i accidentally shut down before it was done (it takes like 6 hours). I was watching the scroll though, mathowie was actually "winning", with postroad 10 posts behind, however a lot of those were tests.

I actually pulled all the deleted reasons, I just never hosted it anywhere. Yes, every single one. Who wants to host it?

Oh, you may remember me from the Every Single MeFi Tagline thread.

Next installment: We Love Deletion Reasons!
posted to MetaTalk by Mach5 at 5:54 PM on December 1, 2006

I did it with a simple 18 line python script that grabbed every page with urllib.urlopen and then parsed through it with readlines and a regex ".*Metafilter:(.*)<br>". I slept while it ran for MeFi, but AskMe took like 6 hours, and MeTa a bit less. The deletion reasons crawl is currently running but I'm up to 4000 and not one reason, so I'm not sure whats going on. Mabye there is no reasons in early MeFi?

Chuckles: meh, i couldn't figure it out in 5 seconds so I gave up. MediaWiki just makes it too easy!

ORM: because you ended your own tagline with a <br />. thats what you get for conforming to standards!

What is my script doing that google/yahoo/all the other search engines aren't? I'm obeying robots.txt, and also, when I fetch the pages, I'm only getting the html, no images/css/javascript. If you've ever looked at some raw apache logs from a popular site, you'd be pretty surprised at the constant hits it gets from robots, spammers, vunerability scanners, people looking for backdoors and shitty code, etc etc. I'm really nothing more than a blip.

Awesome! I like the black color scheme.

So, any of you need a good drummer that lives in the NYC area to add to your music? I'm quite bored, er, playing with myself.

I was there! It was totally awesome, and I know my picture is gonna be everywhere cause I was right behind the sea captain :). The strangest/coolest part was when my headphones fell off and I looked around to see all these people dancing like idiots in complete silence. Classic!

I'm the kid with the blue hat all the way on the left

You're forgetting the dejected look on that brides face when 100+ people suddenly showed up in the back of her wedding photos.
