You can add a line that looks like this to restrict the number of users who can join in one day: > $a->config['system']['max_daily_registrations'] = 123; where 123 is the number of users you'll allow per day.

They all activated Facebook, and had over 500 friends each. Result: a crippled server for everyone else. Had `max_daily_registrations` been set to 5 or 10, that would never have happened.
