The title says it all.
I wonder which tool is used for scraping the other forums??
Thanks

I believe it's a bot made by admin himself.

Well, am searching urgently one like that, but other than sharpleech, which is useless for my purposes, i cannot find any

I believe its a mixture of customize php combine with macros. But i believe ADMIN himself created a personal app made in autoit to automate the process.

i even got scammed on MMD forum by someone selling one :-(

Did ADMIN bought this script and macros for $10,000.00 USD?
cause i was searching for this one too since way back months and found this in freelancer before and i remember a guy username "CPALEADVIP.COM" closed the deal and bought it.
i was searching freelancer.com for the page of bidding but it seems that it was no where to be found now. But i see someone from freelancer offering this same service but i got scammed twice already :(

When the persons name was that one, then yes he did!

Quote:I would choose Python due to superior libxml2 bindings, specifically things like lxml.html and pyQuery. Scrapy has its own libxml2 bindings, I haven't looked at them to test them, though skimming the Scrapy documentation didn't leave me very impressed (I've done lots of scraping just using these parsers and manual coding). With any of these you get a truly superior HTML parser, querying via XPath, and with lxml.html and pyquery (also built on lxml) you get CSS selectors.

If you are doing a small job scraping a forum, I'd skip a scraping framework and just do it by hand -- it's easy and parallelizing etc is not really needed.
