We can copy the code for the user stats and create a page that lists all the
users. This would be legal but it would be a page full of stat boxes like on
GC.COM. We couldn't sort it unless someone did it manually. Screen Scraping
it won't work, at least I don't think so, because it is dynamic....
Just one thought..
