The en.wikipedia project for that resides at [[WP:ACC]](1), The
toolserver system from memory is a request type system (although that
may of changed since I last looked), where as the actual accounts are
created on site using the [[Special:CreateAccount]](2) special page,
there is a limit for that system so that a user may only create so
many accounts per hour, but we do (or did) have a override for that
