This error message was displayed at the top of my Registration Page, when trying to register as a new test user…

I got this message when trying to create a new test account on my board, which I'm just getting setup after importing our data over from vB.(i.e. "Sorry, we cannot create an account for you at this time. Please contact the staff if this error persists.")
At first I thought it was a
new add-on I had installed, but I ruled that out. Then I thought it was a permissions error perhaps and that I had CHMOD'd some directory incorrectly, somewhere.(i.e. Thinking it could not write the new-user data perhaps.) It's taken me several hours to finally give-up and copy/paste the exact error message into the search function here on XenForo and
Thankfully @bambino had quoted this error message in an earlier post. So I turned this add-on OFF and the error has now gone away.
1)Consider a less-cryptic error message, that at least gives (new) admins a clue as to what it is referring to?
2)Is there a possibility in adding an
option to allow registrations to continue normally if/when your service is down?
This is a powerful add-on and I quite like it, but not knowing how often the service is down somewhat worries me…since apparently it will block any registrations during that time.
