Yeahhh.... having data, such as a username, a bunch of blank profile info, IP addy, record, taking up a few hundred kilobytes of data maybe, is a HUGE load, lemme tell ya.
It's the ONLY reason we lagged, so we got a new server... yeeeep.
Oh wait, no, I don't know what i'm talking about, and neither do you.
David knows what he is doing, and I agree that it only reduces the number of stupid names available for use.
And besides, ever since the new server, CF has been running great.
