I would do it but at the moment I do not have a decent computer, soon I am getting a new one, dual core so I could run DB on one core and just do the rest of whatever I want on the other. If I was going to do it how would I run them in the appropriate leagues? I could try and get the long list of unsorted bots down and run some leagues while I am not on my current computer? Tell me if you would like me to do any of this for you.

Absolutely, if you want to go for it.

What really needs to happen first, though, is a way to automatically get the bots from the bestiary.  As it is it's kind of a pain and we just have too many bots anymore to do it by hand.

The bestiary is mostly set up to follow a naming scheme so that a simple web crawler might crawl the forum and save out bots.  If you or someone wants to tackle that project that would be awesome.  From a quick google search I found Mechanize, but there might be others.  The webcrawler would just access all the bestiary pages and save out the bots to disk.  Once they're on disk we can sort them by date and do a league "reboot", and run all the bots in chronological order just to make sure we haven't missed a bot falling through the cracks or anything.

You know you can set the proccess priorty on darwinbots to low so it only runs when your not doing anything on the computer. Thats what I do cause I only got darwinbots installed on one computer.

I've had mixed results doing that myself.

ikke:
f3 league standings
f2 league standings

Panda:
What would happen to any of the ones which are incorectly named on the forum, without all of the information about them. I would not be sure on how to create a web crawler that would search the forum for the bots and tell where the ones to be moved to but I could try.

EDIT> Where would I start?

Peter:
Bacillus leagues don't seem completely right. O.o
F3 missed a few bots, and the order of it was off.
I think ikke's links are closer to the truth.

@panda, I would start finding a quick way to get all bots saved to disk, then some way to get it sorted.

Panda:
Are all the attachments stored somewhere on here?
