No you don't. They mean find users profiles through Id.

.::Taboo::.:
it would theoretically be simple enough to put together a script that simple goes through all pages starting at "forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=" and then simply reads the BL_ID field (albeit inefficient since it would probably have to load all the pages as a third party and not as an actual thing on their server), but frankly i'm too lazy and not-caffeinated to pull it off
wait, kalphiter, you just put together a theoretical php script to pull your deleted posts, right? get to work, son

Be sure to run it slowly or it might think of your script as a dos attack and block you.

It only needs to be run every once in a while because it's safe to assume that many of the older profiles will remain unchanged. Loading a profile takes a bit to search but is finished once the profile is found; the data is all in one spot. It's nothing compared to the amount of jumping it takes to display 15 non-consecutive (but ordered) posts at once.
