Fair enough, although I suspect there has to be some automation involved at a client level for that to work. I know when I was trying to build up lists of people to do research on, I used 2 years of chat logs and parsed every unique name from them because I figured that macroing user lists into a spreadsheet would be frowned upon if ever found out.

If you do have the data for the signups, any chance you could tell us how many new registrations per month?

On a more serious note, the site is built by a third party, using information that comes from the API through other third parties.

There's nothing wrong with the service at all, or the intelligence it provides to people who declare war.

If you don't want to get your stuff blown up, either learn to fight back, or hire someone to defend your corporation.

It really is that simple.

There's only a single reason why this website is bad:

Because intelligence gathering starts and stops with knowing who your enemies are. I've found Eve-who is a place to start your search for intel, not end it.

Hi

Since the EvE site

www.eve-who.com went live, griefer war decs have tripled due to a attacking corp able to look up an entire corp members roster and use locator agents to find targets

Bottom line is

A corps member roster is private and Chribba should not be allowed access to CCP servers to provide this information to the public of eve.

Yes spys can be used, but people don't even bother with it.

Look at our war with PIRAT, they know exactly where we all are at anytime.

EvE who's access to corp members rosters need to be taken down

CCP is making empire war a viable business

You are destroying high sec for those of us have have lived in null n do not want to go back

Your a dev, act like one

It uses the API.

Here's how it works: To obtain character information, it hands the character name or id to the API server, which return the character info.

Now what you are asking is, how do they get the name or ID? It's not through API scraping (which is by going id by id though the API ignoring invalid ones).
What they do is they sit characters in popular systems and channels, then they pull all of the names and ids they can out of chat logs, cached portraits, killboards, the forum, pretty much anywhere they can. Once a characters ID is in the list, it will be there forever and will simply update whenever that character changes corp, etc.

It's all standard stuff that anyone can do. They don't have access to the server, you are simply assuming incorrectly. Get over it.

Hi guys, thanks for checking out EveWho. I was asked to come here and clarify a couple of things.

1) I am NOT scraping the API.
2) All information I've retrieved is publicly available somewhere.
3) I am NOT scraping the API.

I am well aware of CCP's policies per using the API and I have no intention of abusing them. I built the initial database by getting a character dump from Eve-Kill, scraping some forums, scraping a few hundred other killboards, and from a couple of donations of character name lists.

I am NOT scraping the API.

I built this site by using resources available to everyone. That includes you. I saw another site similar to EveWho a few months ago and thought I could do a better job. I believe I did. If you think you can do a better job, you just might be able to do so :)

I am NOT scraping the API.

Once again let me restate that I am not scraping the API. I might cause an error or two every few minutes but no where near enough to get myself Scotty'ed or even banned. I like getting along with Scotty anyway.

I am NOT scraping the API.

Please continue to enjoy EveWho for good or bad, whichever you prefer.

Fly dangerous,
Squizz

You know, if your corp lived up to its incredibly bombastic corp description (quoted below) I would think you wouldn't have problems with highsec wardecs at all, because you'd be kicking the **** out of them. Talk is cheap, I guess.



Enjoy the corp bounty. I'm sure your aggressors will.

omg

very mature

a CSM member placing a 1billion isk bounty on a high sec corp because he disagrees with a forum post

outstanding choice for CSM u where

Chribba is afk cloaking in ur systemz, collecting ur private infoz.

I am a little curious about the methods - no cache scraping aside I find that several of my alts, none of which have ever seen combat, some of whom have never chatted in any public channel ever, and sit in the same station all day long, appear on the list.

Hi

Your first mistake was to search for your own character hehe. At least that's what I do on eb:g, if you search for a name and it's not in my database already, I will do checks to see if said name is available - and poof - your previously unknown alt is now known to me.

EvE Who is linked to the ccps servers. it is not api related

U can find the full roster of any corp, who they are, how many members and use locator agents to track every member of that corp

Making out of the way alts pointless

This has lead to a surge in empire griefer corps and alliances, all you have to do is watch the war list in game.

it needs to stop. Chribba is human, we have no idea who, or what he is selling hsi personal conenction info to and neither do ccp

its as simple as that

So not only is the OP wrong by accuses Chribba of wrong doing but he seems to misunderstand how everything works.

All I will say is.

Why Hello there...
