My roommate has been trying to register for SD. Every time she hits the register button it says that she can’t, because I have already registered. Does she have to go to a whole new computer like at an Easy Everything(a public internet cafe) and register herself a name?

There’s a tiny, little “logout” function on the main page. It’s on the left side of the screen, just underneath all the forum listings.
