It's certainly possible. It depends on how the models.py file is imported. If you have two independent import paths (e.g., from forum import models and from cnprog.forum import models) the add_to_class methods could be called twice. > It does seem it would have been better to use UserProfile or to > subclass User.

The approach used by cnprog may work under certain circumstances, but it certainly isn't documented best practice. If you want to attach data to a User, UserProfile is the recommended approach.
