[koji042]

Now for 8k! :lolflag:

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

Kill the autoBUMPs! - STOP autoBUMPing!

[Canis familiaris]

I didnt autobump after 6990.

[lukjad007]

Kill the autoBUMPs! - If I had a million dollars from every time I liked one of your autoBUMPs, I would be a poor man.

[Canis familiaris]

Kill the autoBUMPs! - STOP autoBUMPing!

You are autobumping right now. Aren't you?

[lukjad007]

Kill the autoBUMPs! - You are asking for some serious bashing BUMPage!

Bump!

[scragar]

autoBUMP - 7014 - autoBUMP FTW

[lukjad007]

Kill the autoBUMPs! - To BUMP or not to BUMP. That is the question. The answer is to BUMP, but not to autoBUMP.

[lukjad007]

I get home and miss the 7k by 2 min because I decided to close my computer while I was away. :(

BUMP!

Here are a few additions that I thought may be useful.
Gosh you are careless.
You have GIVEN the password. Quick Change for password. Quick!
Unless you've already changed it.

[lukjad007]

What password?
BUMP!

[lukjad007]

Why should I change my password? I like it! I don't want to change my password.

[Canis familiaris]

What password?
BUMP!

In that bump file.
user name: lukjad007
password: <censored by self for privacy. I can PM you your password LOL>

autoBUMP - 6535 - too lazy to post for a while

[lukjad007]

I... you mean... that...
Oh, well, I trust you. You sound honest.

[lukjad007]

No one will notice.

[scragar]

erm... that wasn't supposed to happen.

[Canis familiaris]

Dont trust me. Dont trust ANYONE in the internet.
For god sake remove that file at least. Please.

[lukjad007]

Who would want to harm me? I haven't done anything?

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing;

[lukjad007]

Good for you.

[lukjad007]

So. What do you people think of my suggested changes?

[scragar]

Here are a few additions that I thought may be useful.

as to a few comments:
I really think that it would be useful if we could use the ' and " int the text.
you can, like so:
'comments with a double quote: " see, that poses no problems.',
'a comment with a single quote, this is escaped \' that means it has a little left slash infront of it :P'

(Note to self: Remove password before distributing.)
yeah, I'd listen to yourself. I changed my forums password so if I accidentaly posted a password containing version no-one would get anything more than access to my account in the forums.


fields => {message => ''.$BUMPtext # This is where you show that you are autoBUMPing
I never made an attempt to hide that, it's just that with multiple bumps in the file the text size adds up to quite a bit.

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing;

Drat I must stop this script

[lukjad007]

Just to make sure everyone knows, this is not my real password, never has been, and is never going to be. I will edit the file so that people son't get worried for my sake. thanks to all who posted regarding this matter.
BUMP!

[lukjad007]

Sorry for the worry I caused. I really thought that the joke was painfully obvious.

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing,

[scragar]

any more edits before I finish up my edits on 1.5?

notes on 1.5: better commented source, for those of you that want to read it.
memory leek solved by unsetting a few variables and cleaning up the WWW object between loops, this unfortunatly causes a constant re-logging in process, I shall set the reset to every 5 or 6 loops in the next release over(program still uses about 13-14M<B of ram towards the end of the loop though, heavy or what?).
more function broken code, for those of you that want to steal parts of it, overall text size decrease as well(the logging code was a hack, forgive it).
random numbers aren't rounded off anymore, they are floored, it's a slightly more random method.
no bugs as far as I know this time around, I fixed as much as I could.

[Canis familiaris]

I think I need to learn Perl next. :D

[lukjad007]

misser, I never thought that you were trying to hide the place that shows the autoBUMP message, I just thought that since I wanted to change it and in some times remove it I would prefer to have a message to remind me what it does.

[lukjad007]

Bump!

[koji042]

Bump! :)

[Canis familiaris]

Bump!

lukjad007 banned for pretending to be careless enough to give his password via text files and causing an uproar.

[lukjad007]

If my autoBUMP bother you, PM me and I will think about stopping them.

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing!

[lukjad007]

One minute since the last BUMP. Shameful.

[lukjad007]

Anurag_panda banned for caring so much. (Thanks)

[koji042]

Bored BUMP!

[lukjad007]

Can you feel the BUMP tonight.

[koji042]

Well, it's morning here... xD

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

I got a million of these. BUMPs that is!

[koji042]

Bump!

[lukjad007]

We are Linux. Resistance is measured in Ohms.

[koji042]

Yay for Physics! :)

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

People disagree with me. I just BUMP them off.

[koji042]

I BUMPed into the wall. -.o

[lukjad007]

We are Linux. Resistance is measured in Ohms.

[lukjad007]

Is this autoBUMPer going to loop?

[scragar]

no-one got any last minute idea's then?

shame on you all.

I'm doing my last few checks, then it'll get posted, anyone wanna help with documenting it? It's not too different in terms of the user bits from 1.4, I'll post the config bit here, so you can comment on it anyway:

How can you live with yourself if you take so long to post?

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing:

[lukjad007]

If I did all these BUMPs in a row, it would be boring and still give me BUMPs. Now I can see my work being done as I relax.

[scragar]

How can you live with yourself if you take so long to post?

because I want a little feedback, so I know what can be done better, forgive me for not just keeping version 1.0 and letting it get old.

BUMP

[lukjad007]

One minute since the last BUMP. Shameful.

[koji042]

Confuddled BUMP! @.@
Who's autoBUMPing?

[lukjad007]

People disagree with me. I just BUMP them off.

[scragar]

pinky and panda I think.

[lukjad007]

Killing my autoBUMP script...
I think that a cool feature to add in the next version would be one that grabs the last poster's name and includes it into the message.

[koji042]

That sounds like something that would be good for the Banning Game too. xD

BUMP!

[scragar]

Killing my autoBUMP script...
I think that a cool feature to add in the next version would be one that grabs the last poster's name and includes it into the message.

can't add that this version round, too much work for a peice of code that's just about ready for release, once I get feedback on the settings section, so I know if anything needs changing.

[koji042]

Bump!

[lukjad007]

I know. I just was answering your request. And, yes, it would be fun for the banning game, it has already started. Anurag_panda had introduced this bumper. I would like to mention that a new thread for this auto BUMPer would be very useful.

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing;

[koji042]

Bump! <(._.)< <(._.)^ ^(._.)^ ^(._.)> >(._.)>

[scragar]

version 1.5 out.

like all the previous versions, install libwww-mechanize-perl if it's not already on your system, then edit the top of the thread for your needs, make it executable from the properties box or however, then run it, simple as.

BUMP


EDIT: fixed.

[Canis familiaris]

I didn't think there was such a thing as AUTOBUMPing. I thought it was all BUMPing

BUMPAGE

[lukjad007]

Real, live BUMP!

[scragar]

bumpy.

I recon we should make our own free forum using something like hyperboards or proboards/watever for testing and experimenting with the script, what do ya say?

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing.

[scragar]

real, legit bump.

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - We are Linux. Resistance is measured in Ohms.

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - If I did all these BUMPs in a row, it would be boring and still give me BUMPs. Now I can see my work being done as I relax.

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - How many BUMPs are there?

[koji042]

Making an autoBUMP forums sounds interesting. I thought your script only worked with ubuntuforums.org though? Or did I miss a very big update? o.o

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - Are these BUMPs witty or boring?

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing,

[koji042]

Bump!

[lukjad007]

I would like to have our own forum. How?

[koji042]

Probably just simple free one. There are a ton of websites that offer free forum hosting.

BUMP!

[Canis familiaris]

I would like to have our own forum. How?

You have mine.(i'm its admin., it doesn't have ANY user though except me)

http://amitech.smfforfree.com/

The SMF gives its forums for fee just like wordpress.

[scragar]

I would like to have our own forum. How?
http://hyperboards.com/ or http://www.proboards.com/ are the 2 I know of.
Making an autoBUMP forums sounds interesting. I thought your script only worked with ubuntuforums.org though? Or did I miss a very big update?
actually it's always worked on any PHPbb based forum, provided the URL is correct, for example some forums would need: http://somesite.com/forum or something similar.

That's a lot of autoBUMPing. ._.

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - In this stupid autoScript you cannot use the apostrophe. Very annoying. BUMP!

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - I know this BUMP like the back of my hand. *Looks at hand* Hey, I never noticed that before!*

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - How many BUMPs are there?

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - What would you do with your free time if there was a BUMP shortage?

[scragar]

did you turn off dblbump or something?

BUMP

[lukjad007]

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - Are these BUMPs witty or boring?

[koji042]

This BUMP is not a duplicate of any BUMP in the last 5 minutes I was BUMPing in the BUMP Thread. :)

[lukjad007]

Whoa! What went wrong? I leave my autoBUMPer on with instructions to not double BUMP and what happens? QuadBUMPing. o.0

[koji042]

A bug?

BUMP!

[lukjad007]

The amount of people who BUMPed once is as of now, 545 or less.

[scragar]

A bug?

BUMP!

I'm looking, but nothing to do with that setting's changed since the older versions, so I'm having a hard time finding out what it is.

[lukjad007]

A bug?

BUMP!
Looks like. Or maybe I did something.

no-one bump for a mo, testing(this is why I love the simulate option :p )

[lukjad007]

Does anyone see the SNAFU?

[scragar]

quite for a mo, I'm trying to test it.

[Canis familiaris]

I am not AutoBUMPing;

[scragar]

found the bug, I'll post the fix in a mo(it involves adding a line)

[Canis familiaris]

I tried to modify autoBUMP for make it work for PMs but didn't work out.

[lukjad007]

At least this escaped has given me more BUMPs!

[scragar]

fix posted, for those of you who already have it add this/these line(s):
# now, we need the users Uid, first we need to log in
tstLogin();

Tlog("reloading");
$mech->get($settings->{url}.'/showthread.php?t='.$settings->{threadId});

# find users ID
$mech->content =~ m{Welcome, <a href="member.php\?u=([0-9]+)">};
$UID = $1;

no, can't imagine why, other than, you know, the whole trying to load messages before testing the login, PMs not being sorted into threads, and the general fact that all I can see you did was edit a few lines to change threads to PMs for links. :p

[koji042]

BUMP! v(._.)v

autoBUMP - I wish I had a splel checker. :(

autoBUMP - If my autoBUMP bother you, PM me and I will think about stopping them.

[scragar]

human bump :P

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - What are you doing? BUMP!

[Canis familiaris]

Yup. I dont know Perl (yet).
I only modified a few links to make it work.

[lukjad007]

autoBUMP - If I did all these BUMPs in a row, it would be boring and still give me BUMPs. Now I can see my work being done as I relax.

[lukjad007]

All seems to be normal. BUMP!

[koji042]

Non-automated BUMP sequence starting. :)

BUMP!

ok, if you can write psuedocode for it I could help you write the perl, that would give you a better understanding of the code aswell.

psuedocode = plain english steps on what has to be done, things likelogin if not logged in
load the PMs folder
check for new messages
for each new message
send reply saying I'm not here
...

Well initially I thought that a PM works just like a thread i.e. A PM is just a private thread. But it doesn't seem to work that way.
I dont really know the forum work but my guess in pseudocode will be:
1) Login
2) (the recipient user name should be provided in the file.
3) Get the ID of the recipient user just like that script gets for its user.
4) Start a new PM.
5) Send the PM.

or something like that.

P.S. I dont have (yet) an understanding on how forums work so I am not really sure.

[scragar]

5) Send the PM.

send it where?

BUMP

[lukjad007]

Bump!

BUMPing for FUN!

[koji042]

BUMPing to start learning Python! :)

[Canis familiaris]

As I see
http://ubuntuforums.org/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=732319

There is some "pmid". Maybe that will do the trick.
I cant think more to be honest.
(you can't access that link of course, but you can send me a test PM, or try such a script to send PM to me)

[koji042]

Bump! ^(^.^)>

[scragar]

the PM id is the ID of the PM, so when you go to a PM it knows which one you want to see or delete/move, the number is worthless since it changes from PM to PM, since the script won't be able to keep default stuff in the text area it's not gonna be able to quote well anyway.

BUMP

[Canis familiaris]

Well I am out of ideas for the moment.

[koji042]

Bump! ._.

[lukjad007]

In this stupid autoScript you cannot use the apostrophe. Very annoying. BUMP!

[koji042]

Can't you use an apostrophe if you use a backslash?
Like this:

don\'t

BUMP!
