I really don't see the point in removing it like on the old forum, it caused no harm in my opinion. Maybe to avoid scraping, make it like a leaderboard, only show the top 100 members or something?

It's probably to avoid scraping, Top 100 would be nice.

Yeah, that was pomp's excuse for removing it on his forum.

Top 100 in what way? Just the first 100 users? - I don't see a point in doing that.

What's the issue with the memberlist being scraped? I can't see what problems it would cause even if it was allowed?

No, the top 100 users sorted by post count- that's how the member list used to be sorted by default anyway.

I don't know man, but pompompurin thought it was bad.

I mean no offence to pom but he doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to opsec so him thinking it was bad doesn't exactly say much on it's own... ??

As it stands, the memberlist can still be scraped manually even if it's not publicly accessible. All this does imho is stop legitimate use-cases for it?

If someone wanted to scrape the member list all they need to do is automate the process of scraping:
https://breachforums.bf/user-[auto-increment-number-here].html

so

https://breachforums.bf/user-2.html = ShinyHunters

https://breachforums.bf/user-5.html = Baphomet 

etc, etc...

Yeah, at that point, they'd have to implement a random UID system. But even then, someone can just crawl the forum pretty easily. Either way, I want the member list back!

First of all, it doesn't automatically sort by post count. Secondly, there's no button to view it at the top of the page.
