| Thugburg: Pop. 6,441 |
| 2005-08-06 |
| I've finished going through 2003 article by article. Thugburg's population is now over 6,000. The list of Classix has grown a bit, too, though I tried to control myself. I've added in a column for a "formal" name, since once that list of 6441 aliases and mispellings is whittled down the population's considerably lower. I'm still fiddling the format, so suggestions are appreciated. |

| #16 This is excelent Fred! BTW Abu Sabaya is dead, killed by Phil Seals and is now fish food. I believe it happened in 2002. Thanks for the great links!!! |

| #15 I can see how a list like this could really get out of control in a hurry. My first thought was for central and South America, both Islamists and MS-13, which is showing all signs of behaving like a secular al-Qaeda. It then starts to overlap with organized crime and even get into the realm of dangerous religious cults (and the great online cultist databases). Then I thought about threat ratings, like a 1-5 star for how dangerous they were or are. This leads to catagorizing them by wheather they actually commit acts, instigate and train others to act, direct the acts of others, or provide material support. |

| #13 And, it's pretty, too! :-) /end silliness Fred, I know you started this project way back when for your own amusement, but with each iteration Rantburg becomes more ... anti-Kool-aid isn't a word, but I'm uncertain how to express it properly. Certainly your growing audience, and the number of new posters who start out with, "I used to ___, but now" is a measure of the tremendous service you provide. The new & improved Thugburg is yet another way you enable us all to think more effectively about this war that is being waged against us, and how we can go about winning it. Thank you! |

| #12 If it's got a hyperlink to one of the Rantburg routines it's flagged. |

| #11 An automatic "flagging" system seems very attractive... Btw, I'm typing this with both hands, why do you ask? |

| #10 Lol, A5089! A word-matching system against a DB? Prolly find the scripts to adapt / piece together at PlanetSourceCode.com. |

| #9 How hard would it be to set up an automagic flagging system? |

| #8 I don't know what "flagging" means, but if it means what I think it may mean, then it is very naughty. |

| #7 If they're not a member of a bad guy org they don't go on the list. The "who's active" list looks at everybody who's flagged in the day's Rantburg. I didn't do a lot of flagging last night before I went to bed. |

| #6 A quick question about Thugburg: should it contain "persons of interest" in groups that the US currently isn't at war with, for instance Ramzan Kadyrov? Also, is there a way to cross-reference all of this with the "who's active" list of old (which seems to only have one member at present)? |

| #3 Interesting, though I can't figure out how to use the Threat Graph Explorer. |
