I was alone at home today and decided to do something useless. I programmed a little webcrawler for this site that can read posts in a thread and make a tagcloud out of it. Not very sophisticated and could be much better I suppose. The clouds were programmed by me in an afternoon, so they are not overly pretty. Pretty useless, but fun.

I give you an example. If you want to know what kind of weather we usually have, I can set the crawler on the thread http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/off-topic-misc/weather-where-you-live-27460.html and I get the following wordcloud:

You can see that it is as often sunny as it is raining. Little less snow, and less cloudy.

If you look in the what are you doing today http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/off-topic-misc/what-you-doing-now-31723.html you see that we are 'watching' a lot, Quoting is a major pastime (probably from the
tag, have to filter that one out) and we like coffee.:

The 'originally', posted and quot are words that come back all the time as they are part of the forum's template software. Have to add the mot the filter, I guess.
Can make more if you want. THe cheered you up thread will probably have a lot of bacon in it ;)
 
Adjusted the filter a bit. Seems like Maria and Wayne are the only members that cheer us up:

The fixed 'what are you doing cloud shows clearly that we mostly drink coffee, and look what appears at the bottom of the cloud... bacon :D :

Wayne, Maria, Coffee and Bacon... seems like a good combination to brighten your day :D
 
Guys, I thought up a little project but I need help.

I could extend my little spider to crawl through a more extended part of the forum and collect as much data as possible. Then get all ww2 aircraft names and make a nice cloud of all aircraft we talk about. Would be interesting I think? We could see which aircraft are mentioned the most.

Now I would need a list of as much ww2 aircraft possible, including their nicknames. I thought people could help me with that. Maybe I should make a request in the aviation forum where people could notice?
 
Thanks Dave, okay here it is then, the breaking news thread.:

If you look closely, you can see that V2 and Lucky13 are really fond of both girls and guys :lol:
