The weird use case here.

I am starting a brand new forum, and I don’t want it to appear empty, so I have a bunch of prefabbed posts in a text file that I want to enter into the forum.

Is there a way to have these posts “authored” by a random selection of users? Or do I need to create fake accounts to get things rolling?
