intId is indeed the Internal ID of the comment. strCommenter is the Literotica ID for the user. If you look at the URL of your submissions page, it's the number to the right of "uid=". Yours is 5866. You can use that to look up who left the comment
And once you had that script, you could copy every story on Literotica over to your web site.
Too sweet! Thanks buddy!
Thanks for that clarification. Ain't it astounding how technical jargon from one field can have us scratching our head trying to figure out what in the hell someone is talking about? Because I was in the automotive field all my career things like, cam duration and dwell, quartering of an engine, bore, stroke, multiplexing and on and on are familiar to me. But throw me a few terms like you mentioned and I'm lost like a compassless boat in a storm.
I don't understand what there is to worry about. Stealing stories? It might make it easier to do so but even I, as a basic keyboard wannabe cowboy can figure out how to do that. I took it for granted a long time ago if I wrote a good story and posted it for free on the net, some Ahole someplace was going to steal it and try to make money off my labor. I could go into a 20,000 word dissertation on the subject of Aholes making money off the labor of others with no fair compensation for that labor.
Simple enough. You go to each story and laboriously input each piece of data by hand into a spreadsheet. Maybe, after a few days or weeks (if you don't miss some) you'll have all your stories specs at hand. Or sit down and learn how to write a script to go in and gather the data and save it to a spreadsheet. Once the script is written enter a few parameters for the data and "whoosh!" you got it on the screen.
Or take the easy, lazy way (like I did) and let 8L's script do the work.
Choose wisely
Comshaw
Fair post.
It's not a "Hacked" amount of information. Most interesting for me, but not a surprise, is:
8L plagiarized another author's work here on Lit, posted about it, and provided proof of the act.
All stats are worthless. I don't know if you track your views or anything like that, but those are worthless too. There could be bots running through all our stories, YouTube has bots going crazy on there posting comments and bringing views up. Google knows about it and allows because they can show Advertisers "engagement" and "page hits". Think that might not be happening on Lit? I'm not saying it is but... Once you start nit-picking then you might as well nit-pick your way to bedrock. It would explain why there are so few comments and ratings though.
No, I don't. I spend that time formulating and writing more stories.
Ah, okay. Good on you then. I guess I'm the asshole for being a number nerd and caring slightly, even about meaningless things.
What exactly are you proposing here? This sounds like you're setting up ways to sabotage Literotica, perhaps in reaction to being busted for plagiarism. Your motives seem suspect, to me.
WHAT? 8Letters didn't "propose" anything. He didn't make a threat, he said he didn't want to give something away that could be a threat. It's obvious what he's using the script for, helping us number nerds track our stuff. I'm not in his head or anything but if it were me and I wanted to sabotage something, I'd be quiet about my capabilities.
If you went to your comments and then ignored the anonymous ones (or added them up) and went through to the User Names, you could then see the information that that user provided to Literotica. I'm sure if he had access to your login, which NOBODY is proposing or suggesting, a script like that could do the same for all the users who follow you or favorited your stuff.
Maybe I'm in a circularity here. Having just read BonoBeowolf's post, it may be that 8L was referring to some hypothetical script, not his own. Some clarification would be useful here, given the odd statement.
You do understand this would be copyright infringement, correct? Even if you are doing it for purposes of aggregating and processing information rather than for republication, it's still copyright infringement, because you are reproducing copyrighted works within the meaning of section 106 of the Copyright Act.
