Password, username and registered e-mail address are irrevocably linked - no outside help I'm afraid much as I'd love it.
I think you ought to buy a Mac - Applescript will log on for you in a trice on as many browsers as you'd like

PS Looks like we are still on track for the migration to the new server 13th and 14th of March. There may be some outage time but I promise there are a group of people who will be working very hard to minimise it.

Rob,
I think I type for many when I type "Thanks for all the effort you guys are putting into the upgrade". Great to have 24/7 search back
There will without doubt be complaints, there always are!
Cheers for a great place to hang out

For me to host this website i would budget it around £3400 per year for first year, this includes the price of the dedicated server.
Let's not forget that the "users online" is a 5 minute average synoptic of useage. That is to say; there might only be 5 requests at any one time going to the host machine.
The main issue would probably be uplink speed; above 1Mbp/s at least. (Iv'e known pentium 200Mhz systems do really well on a T3 uplink, as servers) The other issue is physical memory.
All very complex stuff.....but this is what you get when you work with computers

How many requests are being processed at one time is also a function of the length of time it takes to process a request, which is why once things start getting bad on a web server they get really bad. That is why vBulletin (the software pprune uses) turns users away when the CPU load is above a certain figure.
An old Pentium system can indeed flood a T1 line, but not if it is doing tens of database queries to service each request.
