May be I can trust Loyce.club, the same with Ninjastics or BPIP but if we give them advantage over others then we are creating double standard. Especially when this forum is about an economy like Bitcoin, we really need to be careful about what information we post and who keep copies of our information.
You do have a point about the double standard, but I guess that it's not so difficult to make a page explaining the situation and everybody who wants to have a scraper can get his IP whitelisted, for example, as long as it's an okay user of the forum.
Let's get real, especially these 3 scrapers help the forum a lot, filling the gaps with features we don't have.. for example because the forum software is old.
I did miss the notifications today, so maybe I am somewhat biased, but I think that it would be nice to not have many problems like this.
However, I have a feeling that it was a bug/mishap, not an intentional blockade, so maybe everything can go on as usual.
Of course, I understand OP's frustration. He will probably need to do extra work because of all this so he can feed his tool correctly with the missing data... so let's not be too harsh on him either. It's okay to ask; whether it will be granted or not... that's a different story and I trust theymos that he will see this topic and take the right decision.
