Always include timestamps

This is part of the Semicolon&Sons Code Diary - consisting of lessons learned on the job. You're in the databases category.

Never forget timestamps for created_at and updated_at on any database table. Without this information, debugging becomes much more difficult.

I noticed this because I deployed a users table to Semicolon&Sons without any timestamp fields. I then got exception reports but was unable to pinpoint them in time.
