NeoGAF Thread Summarizer is an easy to use Google Chrome Extension that allows you to:
There is also an Opera 12 version that is maintained separately and does not have all the features.

Opera 12 extension (Called NeoGAF Companion, maintained as a separate branch and not feature complete):
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=157945786&postcount=59
Tested to work with Chrome 41.0.2272.118, 42.x (Stable beta), 44.x (Canary nightly builds), however, some Chrome "point update" versions may have bugs preventing this from working.
If you are using Chrome 41.x or lower, you may need to install a previous version as the latest versions seem to not work for some users, here's a fallback version (1.2.2). You can check out the source, and install it in developer mode.

So if things are not working, either upgrade your Chrome, or downgrade your script.
How to use:
You go to the first page of the thread, hit begin analysis, it sweeps all the rest of the pages. You can start from the middle of the thread, it only analyses the later half of the thread. After it's done, hit show results, after setting the quote threshold you like.
Questions not yet asked but the potential is there:
Q: I hit analysis and it doesn't find any quoted posts, or the amount of posts is very low.
A: It only analyses pages beginning from the page you are on, to the last page. If you hit "analyse" on the last page, it just analyses that page.
Current version: 1.7.0.2 -updated 24/03/2016 (Listed features may not be present in Opera 12 version (v.0.9.2))
ToDo:
The core functionality is tested for a good while so things should be OK. You'll see an icon on the url bar, you can start analyzing and it analyzes from the page you are on to the last page.
Currently released under Zlib license.
I'll shamelessly bump this thread for updates even if doesn't get replies for now. Please let me know of any suggestions.

ToDo:
Keep track of posts of specific user(s) in the thread.doneKeep track of posts that quote a specific user (that could be you)doneDo analysis without changing pages, in background.done- Cached page limit setting with dynamic page caching during thread navigation
Use cached pages for instant post retrievaldone- Display a basic graph about quoted posts
Do recursive quote tracking so one can follow back and forth replies between users without having to add them to the follow list.done- Do reply tracking on a post by post basis instead of inside a thread using contextual menu. May be used to track replies to specific posts in post search results.
- Kick start analysis from forum thread list pages using contextual menus
- Word cloud of the thread
Dedicated options pagedone- Do silent analysis as you move through a thread. (would be optional)
Populate thread posts with info from analysis.doneAdd NeoGaf live like functionality, checking for latest posts (in classical paginated form instead of infinite vertical page).doneSave settings in cloud / locally so when you close browser, your last settings will be remembered.done
