How can I get a list of all participants of a conference (including those who
use their browser to post)?

5 responses total.

@tod: You can stop holding your breath!

If you are still looking to get a list of all participants for a
conference, I have a tool which can do that. Send me a mail @grex.

Yay! And tod actually visits the conferences from time to time. Don't know
if he still needs a participants list, but I applaud the achievment. :)

I collected the data as I was curious as to how much the conferences had
been used over the years. There have been over 1.3M posts! I launched
the script without knowing what to expect. After about 20 minutes it was
still running so I checked top to make sure I wasn't hogging all the
systems resources ... no problems there ... the next morning I saw the
run time was just over 6 hours. I only collected conference/item, resp#,
date & user ... and file was ~50MB. I feed the data into sqlite for easy
review but user quota alarm sounded so I had to delete it. I can still
parse it the old fashioned way before the invention of those superfluous
db tool :)
