[afrigeek] Active participants on AfNOG

[Diarmuid O Briain]

Patrick,

Thanks for that. I wrote a short script to extract the statistics. It can
be given a year or all years and it will grab the users. It outputs
statistics as below and returns a .csv and a .txt file of unique users on
the site during that year. See below for 'all' and '2018'. If you want to
scrape the usernames run the attached script and it will generate the
username files.

Thanks for your help.
