GOOD NEWS! There is a known issue with certain accounts beginning with "allan" causing this applet to break. If you encounter an error due to a banned account (blank user page), contact me.

v1.1 released October 14, 2010. Program now recovers gracefully from Exceptions, and skips to the next available user.

(As of October 29, this applet is disabled temporarily due to a change in FA's links. I know what the problem is, and will get the applet back running ASAP. Thanks!)

Fur Affinity Rank Future Release Terminal
FARankFuRTer v1.1

This Java Applet allows anyone to help gather the user information necessary to perform an update to the FARank. In addition to assisting the project, users can watch the progress of the program and potentially find new artists on FA.

The entire process is automated. All you need to do is click "Run" on the popup window. The terminal screen will display information about the progress of the data acquisition. If you find you've got a few CPU cycles to spare, you may leave this program running in a browser tab.

To minimize the impact to FA's servers, there is a mandatory 60-second wait between processing each user. This prevents the site from being bogged down by lots of requests. Please be respectful and don't hammer them.

Since this program uses Java, you may need to download and install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You can direct issues, suggestions, comments, and questions to my FA account below.

Enjoy!
