Since the start of the project guest pours always seem to be changing. When I have my kegbot running I get a decent number of guest pours, which I'm ok with, it just seems they need to be handled better. From what I can tell guest pours have no user assigned to the drink, there was a period where you were able to select a user to be the guest user if i recall correctly, as i have a decent chunk of drinks with the user set as guest rather than (none). The kegweb interface is really hit or miss when it comes to displaying guest pours, most of the time the drinker image is 404'd and empty, some of the links you can click and get actual pour and drinker stats, and some you cant. I'm sure this may have to do with using a database that has been used since the start. Perhaps some kind of migration is needed to clean it up and bring guest pours to a defined usage.

I like the idea of leaving the user null for guest drinks as it allows for easier changes down the road. I'd like the ability to have some kind of guest display options. A menu where: the guest display name can be changed, whether or not to display guest pours in kegweb recent activity (perhaps just collapse multiple pours to just one, to reduce an entire list of guest pours on home page), change the guest mugshot, and of course some guest related stats.
