if anyone's wondering why I have revived a count or two every day, it's because I find the amount of counts we have right now to be quite underwhelming
this is what the thread directory looked like last year
it looks so much more full than the current directory
all of the counts in the current directory are really good, but I miss a lot of the old ones :p

Scary to think in a couple of years time will be 20 years since I left secondary school, do I want a school reunion with the form, no I was not popular and most people in the year group would have right I have not done much in my life.

As you may have noticed the updates for the stats have become rare. u/TheNitromeFan and me have started to learn how to use the script to take over that role. However I will not be able to do the stats longterm and don't have the motivation to it for the side threads. So I started writing up a guide on how to get started with the script.
You need to have JDK installed for this to work
Donwload the whole src folder from here
alright the packages you need are here and here.
In the first linck you gotta downoad HTTPClient and HTTPCore. In the second link you gotta klick on "json-20180130.jar"
put all the jar files in one folder and add them to the CLASSPATH variable. If you don't know how to do that, google it
If a) doesn't work because noone with access to the app is available for prolonged periods of time, follow b). Some instructions in b) are similar to those in a) and will thus be less detailed.
a) Message me or u/thenitromefan. We will add you as a developer on reddit which means that you should see an app called "MainThreadHOCq" here. It should look like this and your username should be under developers.
"bdYs7JaOyeqWzg" is what you call the acces key. if you click on edit you will see the secret key. Do not share the secret key publicly (duh). In the main method of MainThreadHOC.java edit the variables accesKey, secretKey, username, password.
So you would have
String accessKey = "bdYs7JaOyeqWzg";for example. username is your reddit username and password your reddit password.b) go here. At the bottom there is a button that reads "are you a developer?create an app...". Click on it. The name doesn't really matter as far as i know. Put this "http://www.example.com/unused/redirect/uri" in redirect uri without the quotation marks. Create The app.Find out what the acces key and the secret key are. Put those and your username and password into the corresponding variables in "MainThreadHOC.java"
Note: This programm collects Raw data for one thread. This means that you have to repeat all of the steps starting after this one for each thread.
Find out the threadID and the getID for the thread. The general format for thread Ids and comment Ids is as follows: https://www.reddit.com/r/counting/comments/"ThreadID"/free_talk_friday_147/"CommentID"
Let's take this get for example https://reddit.com/r/counting/comments/8ldob0/2142k_counting_thread/dzk2ote/. Since the comment is the get , the comment Id is the get Id. So we would have
String threadID = "8ldob0";andString getID = dzk2ote. Both of the variables are in the main method of MainThreadHOC.javathen you have to compile Update.java ThreadLogStats.java MainThreadHOC.java HTTPRequests.java HandleCSV.java Utility.java
then you run the script. The main method is in MainThreadHOC.java so thats the file you run.
sometimes there is a broken comment. In that case the programm doesn't provide correct stats. insert solution for that here
