Sounds great. I guess now that we're auto-creating so many users, the duplicate user thing is an issue. I'll test it. Thanks, yo.
Seems to work just great. Thanks for fixing that -- that should be all for now, since all other issues can wait.
Whoop!

It looks like your issue #32 is not caused by my recent changes - it's a coincidence that you found it now.
Your guess that it's caused by people using similar email addresses is correct. The plugin is set up to create users with user_logins that are generated from the part of the email address before the @. There was nothing built into the plugin that checked for duplicates, and when attempt to create a duplicate user, WP spits out an error, and the plugin was not set up to check for these errors.
I added a little logic to do numeric iteration. If amandafrench is taken, try amandafrench1; if that's taken, try amandafrench2; and so on.
I should note that I'm not 100% sure that this is the extent of the problem and solution. However, it does fix the specified issue. Please give it a go and let me know what you find out.
