Couldn't the government claim you are lying about how many users you have, and then demand you show them how many you have? How will they prove how many users they have without handing over the list of users?

Theoretically, if your forum is like Reddit they can just crawl the site and look for usernames that appear on top of posts.

But I'm sure there are other ways.
