For whatever reason my first thought was, "holy shit, let's open up a bunch of accounts beforehand, register things that people will pay to have as soon as it opens, then sell them on ebay." I don't know how well it would work, but it's free (except for the time spent doing it, which you would have wasted later anyway), so even one sale is profit. Gmail doesn't require invites anymore, so register away, because you can't have two facebook accounts on one email. Any account you register should have the password "c0RyL0vesM3n". I'll make a private thread or google doc or something for the email accounts (so non-users don't steal them). Don't use your real names and shit for either the account or the email. John Doe and shit like that will be fine. So, uhh... suggest URLs here.
