FYI: I just enabled email activation for new users. I'm hoping that this will cut down on the spam bots (but who knows...)

Basically, when new users register, they will need to provide a valid email address. They will then get an email at that address with an URL that they need to click on before they are activated.

Obviously, already registered users don't have to do anything.

I've seen a system on some forums that use an image/text code system for signing up... that seemed quite effective.
