I need to create about 1000 users, with random (but normal looking names not "293dsaf81s234" but "Blue Air" (can be random dictionary words)). And I need to generate topics and posts, and many others things. Does anybody know a good way on how to generate dummy content in PHP? What would be the good approach?

Hi, I use this tool: http://www.generatedata.com/

The online version is limited to 100 entries, but it can be downloaded for free from github and loaded in local PHP server, just do php -S localhost:8000.
