In many WordPress blogs, it's possible to enumerate WordPress users using a well-known feature/bug related to author archives. This works if the following conditions are met:

WordPress permalinks are enabled. By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them; however, WordPress offers the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. Many blogs use this feature.
The user has to write at least one post in order to be listed.
