Re: [Rails] Limiting users for beta-test

Hi Soichi,

I would just modify your "new" (sign up) definition in the user
controller to query the number of User models present in the DB and
send a friendly message "sign ups are closed" once the count reaches a
certain number.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Array.html#method-i-count

Cheers,
Abram
