Setting up a staging copy and I want realistic data — users, boards, threads with replies and votes. Is there a script for this, or do I click it all in by hand?

    There's a CLI seed: php tools/seed.php --force. It creates users, boards, and sample threads with replies, votes, and accepted answers, and it clears the previous seed first so it won't duplicate. Exactly what you're after.
