Hi Chris, a few minutes of running parallel Julia will not really have a negative impact. The parallel programs I was referring to were 100 odd workers each, and there were more than one users running similar tasks at some point which was too much for a single machine to handle.
Also, we have not banned you or anyone from JuliaBox because of this. :) Do let us know if you are still unable to login.
