I have been tasked to create a new forum website and have chosen MyBB for the
job. I have a spreadsheet with several hundred names and email addresses that are to
be registered with the new BB. The list will never grow any larger, and yes, I
have permission to register all those names with the site.
Is there some existing way to add multiple users to the database, or could it
possibly be done with SQL statements? This will only have to be done one time,
because once the names are registered it would become a case of normal updating.
I have searched the MyBB documentation, the forums, and the help files and
cannot find anything on this subject. I suspect it doesn't come up often.
It would also help a great deal if, while registering these names, they were
also subscribed to all the existing forums on the BB, so they could later 'opt
out'
I am new to MyBB, but I have some familiarity with PHP and MySQL.
Thanks in advance for any help.
False analogy. Going to the moon produced new knowledge and scientific research that has reached millions of people in some way. There's a clear benefit there.
The things I've bolded have all resulted from community demand. To say that we don't care about the community and don't listen at all is an asinine claim to make.

Thats just not one small step for man
Have a plan and then execute it, dont pander to the mob, coz never underestimate the power of stupid people in large number LOL
Not saying you should or should not add this, and i see no use for my needs, but your reason for rejecting is all wrong
