This is used to stop people from creating duplicate accounts. But this is bad because it hides the fact that they user recreated an existing account and will throw out new options in the UI and stuff like that.

This just disables the check for now, and I have a few more review requests I'm putting together to make this a better user experience.

Ran the unit tests and created a duplicate account.

I'm not sure why this exists. I tracked it all the way back to Gaim, but I can't find a place where it would even be necessary.
