looks exciting, maybe a bit heavy too due to lots of 1-2 comment posters, but otherwise great job. i like slick panels. @MrEd is also great. auto-reload though i thought about asking him for it, and it's kinda excessive IMHO, just extra load on where it's hosted, since i do not think someone is monitoring your monitor... but once in a while i will check it out, and i would like to actually see the jump in numbers, so auto-reload may actually rob me of the fun of seeing the work i put in maybe it could be a checkbox? to enable/disable autoreload.

It's really a toggle with manual input of how many seconds you want as the interval. Also mine is operated headless with API server on different server(that too is cached with redis). You can try overloading it(after i force enable the cache on cloudflare). Wanna try that?

That's cool. So, you could just put any thread link there, and it would generate the results?

yup, and once it starts scraping it just create another endpoint for the API with ThreadID and that ID can be reused on frontend without even doing any changes on codebase with the help of the input bar. The default threadID the frontend is requesting is currently set to this thread.

That is awesome. So, presently I am guessing it can only work with the LET software?

Yup but it's not that hard to repurpose it to work with any other bulletin system.

If I am not wrong, the posts are identified based on html ids and classes, right? Or, is there a more efficient way to do this? A few years ago, I tested scraping to understand how it works and that was the method I used. It was inefficient on some websites and back then I wodnered if there was a better way.

Yup it's all parsed from HTML dom and classes, some validation here and there though. I am also storing the posts in DB in case i want to include some SPAM score kinda analysis.

What API are you gonna use for the SPAM score in the future if/when it's introduced?

it depends, what i am thinking of utilize a small language model and train it for my use case, it's gotta be long dream for sure

LLm seems to be the way to go, since it needs textual analysis.

It will probably a VSLM at best, a very small language model

Any specific models in mind?

Not yet, will look into how i am going to grade the SPAM score part and what methodology i can use before going to that sinkhole.

unless some other site is using similar forum soft that is used here.. but i bet it's easy to redo it, just HTML parsing and finding the right combo of tags/words on the graph.. @MrEd is doing a lot more by checking uniqueness - it needs quite a handling of the post, cut out quotes, smilies, etc..

i had to try and win the page 100 domain lastnight.. just cause i need some wins in my life.

Yes, everyone want to win the PC!

I just posted in the last page that I am going for the PC now, just to scare @bchot. He had just woken up, and I was feeling naughty, just wanted to pull his leg.
And, don't be mistaken, there's gonna be some heavy competition for the PC in a few days or within the next few weeks. Can't let your guard down, if you are aiming for it.

LOL i knew you were just trying to discourage me for a brief moment.. my morning drink includes 150mb of caffeine, so i actually am on top of it all right away..

Yup fairly easy to repurpose it for any other bulletin board, as for uniqueness checks, it depends, similar posts ranking is different and i believe Ed did an excellent job with that, but i am looking at is SPAM score, will need understand the methodology first before trying anything solid.

lol Ed's version is efficient while mine is just immature piece of junk built in a day or two?

I do remember Ben was also building one last year, just for practice. He might have even shared a few screenshots of it, but, he did abandon it mid-way.

lol i think i did remember it and i guess he abandoned it after struggling with CF WAF.

Probably. He was using Python from what I can remember.

Scraping with python is fairly easy especially with undetected chrome drivers which can really bypass CF if done with a residential connection.

I didn't know this. Being a PHP lover, I used that and I am gonna say, it was a pain.

Php is great have too many projects running on php8.3, 8.4 coupled with zstd and opcache,

Yah, but, recently I had a few projects which required textual analysis. That's when I realised Python and Php are worlds apart for textual analysis.

technically you can achieve anything with PHP as well but what you will require is having a magnitude of security issues if you go with that way. i remember i ran a DNS lookup service in 2015-2016 and i was using a single PHP file with just around 100 lines of code, everything else was just shell_exec();

I do that as well. Most of my PHP lines are shell_exec to python scripts

Lol, that's one way to use python

I mean this is going to be ridiculous if there are gonna be 10 people going for it XD

i am already thinking how do you keep up yapping for weeks to get like 6-7k comments raked up? that's why i now jump in on the ongoing chat, as it makes things so much easier..

got this little animal asking for some scritches, so it's hard to be fully invested in this thread..

BasToTheMax · November 2025

Maybe you could use like a small 0.5b or 1b LLM model?
Depending on your prompt lengths, costs should be minimal then.

it's a good exercise to make one, it's an even better one to make one as good looking as the 2 we have access to now, but me - i personally cannot leave commenting time on the table.. LOL.. i am losing a few VPS at the end of this month, they have a dozen sites on them, - i gotta find a moment to move those sites to other servers, instead i might just do it when they go offline on dec 01.. now is the LET+RN time=)

CF bot protection is another reason not to do it.. unless you're doing it from home with a guaranteed residential IP. fighting with cloudflare - pardon me, i got better things to do..

my kitty just threw me into the reader mode.. LOL.. she just squirming around here.. pressing all my buttons

bchot · November 2025

m cats are working against me.. getting in front of screens, pressing my and keyboard buttons, asking for food, when they just ate.. i have to switch working browser screen to other display so that i don't break my already hurting neck to see the screen around their bodies.. they know the best time to annoy me..

i hope not. but more people engage in a lot of talking means every one trying for it gets helping hand - easy to reply to an ongoing chat, thus i am here rather than replying older ones.. although now i am lagging again, 2 more pages even that i jumped to the last one a little earlier.. i am not a fast talker.. no sir..

Oh my cats can be pretty annoying too! Well especially one of them. He just wants to be pet then.
But I was playing once minecraft, and my cat decided to sit on my laptop. By doing that, he somehow managed to do like a weird keybind that enabled the narrator of the OS. So each time i switched tabs or programs, the narrator would read the tab/program name
