As long as you have a user numbered 1, that will work out. I'd steer clear of duplicate user names -- the code does check for it at registration. It may still at maintenance. It certainly should.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I know the code prevents you from registering with an email address that's already been used, but is there any problem with manually changing a user's email address (just for testing, of course) after the user's been added? 'Cuz I've used up all my email addresses (I have three users on the system).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nope. Once it's in, you can change the address, and you can have multiple user ids with the same address.

Oh, so even a non-stompy user could do that through the usual means (browser)?

Thanks, Gus. I'll give that a looksee.

What time of the day is the board typically the busiest?
What I'd like to do (or someone else can if they want) is watch the Unix 'top' command and note the times when the CPU usage gets pegged at 100% (It actually happens a fair amount). Then see how many posts a minute the board's getting at those times. (Of course the test board should not be active during these times.)
Or is there some way of logging when, say, the CPU is at 100% for 30 seconds straight or something? Or just log the CPU usage % for half an hour?
Then at some point in the future when the real board is quiet (but not for a few days at least) we can see how many posts a minute on the test board it takes to peg the CPU.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
tommyrot -- The Unix command 'vmstat' will give you status information (including CPU usage), one line every 5 seconds by default. 'man vmstat' for more details. It'll do what you want.

Stuttering 'Post message' button. My fault; nothing to see here.
