I just completed this very task. Do the following. Get the API call to torn -> city stats and look at the total player count. start at ID 1 and start grabbing user -> profiles. Be sure to save error …
Probably not. Why would u need it?
I'm the developer of tornattackcentral.eu (just a forum link to the thread about it) which is a dependent on a database of Torn users. As new users are created, I want to scrape them to my database. I could possibly do a scan of increasing userids that are not in my database, and stop when I get error code 6 instead.
Seems like the best way indeed. I don't think Torn would be "happy" with every user being in a separate database for such purposes as you provide :P So don't think they will aid it in any way.
As far as I can tell I stay within the guidelines provided, and people seem to like the site.
If admins has any problems with it, please let me know :)

Do the following.
Get the API call to torn -> city stats and look at the total player count.
start at ID 1 and start grabbing user -> profiles. Be sure to save error code 6 along the way. Once you hit the same number of real players as reported in city stats then you’re at the end and can delete all error code 6 profiles. From there you have a highest known player ID and can just check the next number until it gets created.
This process took me a little under two months while running at about 40 calls/s.

Does "users total" take into count test accounts, dummy accounts, NPCs, etc.?
If those accounts are not counted towards "users total" then you are probably behind a bit. Not that significantly tho.
