I could have written a lot more in my previous post, but every time I added one consideration more came into play. I could have ended up with 500-multi-1000 word essay
Your suggestion brings into play how computer programming, database storage and retrieval, how to display the list to both logged in users and anonymous readers who may be truly anonymous or members simply not logged in, (bear in mind that many may not want to have the cookie stored and be "permanently" logged in), and a possible hacking window due to a concentration of possibly a few thousand links to the database all in a single list. Though the final one of those is a suggestion above my paygrade as to its feasibility.
Bear in mind that the list you see is within the tbb website, and specifically only visible to you. Live only for a short period.
Also you may not be aware that most of the technical forums are crawled by the search engines and no doubt other less legitimate bodies.
What would be the effect on the thinkbroadband servers if an instigator of DDoS attacks discovered your list of over a thousand, (that's less that three years at one link per day, made worse if you do more than one test a day). Several hundred malware-affected computers placing simultaneous requests for access to that list, where each entry is separated by many from other users.
DDoS attacks are not necessarily from someone with a grudge against the target site. They can be from any nutter who finds it great fun to crash a website.
