Ever wonder how many unique posters there are on a thread here? or how many posters posted more than once? Or maybe how many posters posted more than say 10x ?
Well, below is a python script for you to use. It's free to use!!! Just please donate because i'm in college and barely make ends meet.

Code:
import requests as req
# URL of the first page of target BTCtalk thread

masterList = []
tempList = []
oldTempList = []
# While loop that keeps querying thread until reaches repeat of users
