The members list seems to be gone

[Manga Reader X]

Trying to access the URL of the members list just gives me a 404 NOT FOUND.

I can confirm it's happening on my end as well. PC did get recently hacked and it caused a lot of mess-ups, but I'm not sure if this issue particularly is related to the hacking.

Were any e-mail addresses or passwords leaked?

I don't think so. This latest hacking attack was targeted at the files (which stored stuff like avatars and profile pics) and not the main database.

We took it down because it was being scraped. The code behind it is grossly inefficient too, thus we're taking it down.

We may or may not bring it back at a later date.

... So how do we now do if we want to search for all the users with "pikachu" in their username?

Use Advanced Search and deselect the "Exact name" checkbox.
There's also the option to use google-fu. Googling either "View Profile: Pikachu site:https://www.pokecommunity.com/" or "Pikachu site:https://www.pokecommunity.com/members/" will get you a list of profiles and from there you can find all of their posts.

Going to the URL https://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?username={username} also works, but that's not exactly common knowledge. We'll hopefully come up with a better method of finding users soon.
