Not broken. Rydia most likely hit Register twice, probably because that proxy check takes ages to complete.

The two requests arrived to the server at the same time, and have been processed parallely. The first instance checked that the username Rydia was not taken, and passed. The second instance performed the same check, but before the first instance had time to insert Rydia into the database.

As a result, the second instance, thinking everything was alright, inserted Rydia in the database. Again.

This is not a glitch in our checks. However I have a few ideas how to prevent that:
* time limit: only allow one request to register.php per second per IP
* adding a UNIQUE index on database field users.name. For those who don't know about database crap, that means if such a thing was to happen again, MySQL would refuse to insert Rydia a second time. It would throw a huge MySQL error but atleast no duplicate accounts.

I think registration can be reopened. It'll also be getting a few fixes, namely, removing that silly open proxy check that takes ages to complete.
