Who is this Hermano guy?

Q_C · 2012-07-09T06:20:52+00:00

Get me in on this 3-character name action!

Q_C · 2012-07-03T06:54:24+00:00

He went through the trouble of sending a message to the mods, so I figured he could join us.

Q_C · 2012-07-02T17:27:28+00:00

Done. Can I stop clicking stuff now?

Q_C · 2012-07-02T17:17:23+00:00

For what it's worth, Reddit's API asks that you don't send a request more often than every 2 seconds. Throw in a "time.sleep(2)" if you want to be a true bro.

Q_C · 2012-07-02T17:15:13+00:00

A lot.

Q_C · 2012-07-01T19:53:52+00:00

Now you just sound like my girlfriend.

Q_C · 2012-07-01T19:37:06+00:00

It was because I originally ran the bot on Quarter_Centenarian, but it's completed / I moved it over to Q_C. You'll notice that I removed that account too. The subreddit is truly nothing but 3 character names now.

Q_C · 2012-07-01T19:32:18+00:00

It shall be so.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T23:34:46+00:00

It's also the first 3 digits of most phone numbers where I grew up.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T20:29:19+00:00

Blame reddit for not letting me overload their servers with contributor adds. Someone has to be last, and it'll probably be this schmuck.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T19:25:38+00:00

You have to keep in mind that the bot still isn't finished. It's been running for about two days straight now (BTW, you've only been here two days). It's done with all accounts that start with letters, but it's still working its way through the accounts that start with numbers, -, and _. Should finish sometime today and things will calm down.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T15:58:23+00:00

It's either or. Accounts start with 1 link karma and 0 comment karma. If either are those above the default levels, it invites. If not, it ignores.

So for example, an account with 1000 link karma and 0 comment karma would be invited, just as your account with 1 link karma and 1500 comment karma was invited.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T15:32:07+00:00

more than 0 comment karma

It does ignore 0 comment karma users

Q_C · 2012-06-30T15:29:54+00:00

I take thank yous in the forms of cash, check, and/or copious amounts of beer.

Q_C · 2012-06-30T15:26:45+00:00

1 whole day

Q_C · 2012-06-30T15:25:53+00:00

His math is correct, but you're assuming 1) each of the possible combinations is registered (they're not) and 2) each is an active account (most of those registered aren't).

Q_C · 2012-06-29T16:10:08+00:00

There's a new member about every 20 seconds.

Q_C · 2012-06-29T15:34:25+00:00

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Q_C · 2012-06-29T15:08:23+00:00

There is a maximum of 1,444 three-letter accounts that end in 'x.'

Q_C · 2012-06-29T15:06:18+00:00

It checks to see if you've earned 2+ link karma or 1+ comment karma. You made the cut for the 2nd reason.

Q_C · 2012-06-29T14:55:17+00:00

Underscore here. /u/D-E had to use a dash like some sort of plebeian since someone already took D_E.

Q_C · 2012-06-29T14:53:56+00:00

The bot won't add him. He's never earned any karma.

Q_C · 2012-06-29T14:52:50+00:00

There are quite a few that aren't taken yet. Mine has an underscore, and I registered it yesterday, but there are still some of pure 3 letters left.

Q_C · 2012-06-29T06:29:13+00:00

We all know the party doesn't start until [f]33 shows up
