Display Neowin post count on personal site?


Question

Is this possible via code or some manner? Just to display the post count on a personal site / startpage of mine?

I like numbers and stats whether it be post count, XBL achievements, achievements via steam, blizzard games etc. So this is just something that came to mind when messing with my page.

Not really possible in your position you'd need to get the details from Neowins database and that is under very tight wraps. :p

You could just give a rough figure, like 3,500.

You could work out your average posts per day and create a script that updates every 24 hours incrementing each time by your average post value, that would give you a rough daily estimate.

Just use an HTTP request to get this topic and load that into an XML object and query down to the post count in your user fields.

Thats what I was thinking, couldn't you just scrape your profile and get the post count off of that?

Loving the replies, so I don't contribute to further strain on servers might use the rounded post idea; however since this was mentioned by two users that would be cool, but it went over my head haha.

Wget profile page --> grep "Posts:" --> echo what grep found into a text file --> load by http or php include?

Edit: Nope. Can't view profile unless logged in.

Edit: I got it to work roughly from a forum thread... but I'd need egrep to make it actually work and I don't know how to use egrep.
