Tonight I began extracting the names/IDs from my archived topics...

That's from one topic- no repeats. Just a preview of coming attractions :)

I went through random archived topics on the GFA and pulled out the usernames and User IDs of Gavi's past banned accounts (Including some ones made while he was Morbozon).

Now that my script can handle stupid ass line breaks and tabs in the middle of usernames (thanks Internet Explorer), I should be able to plow through the rest of my archives in the next few weeks. Still requires a bit of user interaction to unzip the files and manually check them to see what era they were from (whois.asp, whois.php, user.php, etc), but I'll fix that up later this week. We'll be to 100k in no time ^_^
