You can now view a user's all-time follower count:

I'm removing user rankings by followers for now, but they might be re-added in the feature.

Aw man, why?

I didn't have a way to update the data, finding a a user's ranking was unreliable, and I needed the database space for other stuff.

I updated the forums links & endpoints to point to ScratchPost, my new website for Scratch forums search, statistics, and rankings.

Wow this is nice, and it interfaces with your other scratchpost site nicely. I think there should also be a way to get to scratchinfo from scratchpost (maybe a button called ‘other statistics’ or something like that).

XD why is the browser/os graph not changing there

It looks like it's getting the same creation date, rather than the other dates

Also for some reason the previous post didn't bring the topic up

Oh that's because I'm caching the browser and OS history info so it doesn't get regenerated. I'll clear the cache, one minute.
Edit: fixed!

Couldn't you just set up a Python back-end (aka a WSGI) that fetches easy-to-access data straight from the Scratch API? This would take some time and require quite a few changes but I feel like it'd be a huge storage saver in the long run.

The problem is that Scratch doesn't have any endpoints that tells you a users's rankings.
You basically have to store a giant database of users, sadly.

Are you adding an API endpoint for forum stats?

That's available over at the ScratchPost API.

Ah I see. Yeah that is kinda difficult though. I mean if anything i'd recommend only saving users who have like above 100 followers or something like that to minimize the size. Really any kind of filter to filter out abandoned accounts and whatnot

Is mine higher than @sonic__fan ?
