I'll register but I think you're already registered at mine. Just a note, I delete users with 0 posts after about a month, the main reason is that bots often register and don't post for a month or so, that or they will come back and add a ton of links in there sig. I had that problem before, I logged in one sunday and had about 500 posts from 1 bot that had registered a month earlier.

Dont do that. It will make your forum seem less active.
Especially when you are trying to attract members, they will look at the number of members you have.

True.
If you want to prevent bots from signing up use an image verification (or email verification).

Yes, that also was broken at the time, I just fixed the image verification a few weeks ago. Actually I spent about 3 months off and on trying to figure it out and no luck, then I switch hosts and a few of my scripts stopped working and gave me error messages that Yahoo must not have been letting me see. Well to make a long story short I got to the bottom of what was causing the errors, it was an empty line after ?> in a few files. Then I decided that may have been the cause of other problems so I checked every file on the site and there were several that had the same problem, after that I checked the VC and it worked. Such a simple little thing can cause so many problems.

I don't believe that, most people are smart enough to know that hundreds of members with zero posts are not active members. Besides that I don't show zeros in the members list, I figure if a person is going to take the time to reg at my forum and take the time to make a sig so they can get a free link they may as well take the time to make at least one post. Aside from all that, every so often phpbb ends up with some serious security vulnerability and when that's announced there will be thousands of sites that get hijacked due to sleepers. Sleepers are bots that register and just sit and wait until their master puts them into action. Here's an article about one that had registered at my forum a couple months ago. http://www.issociate.de/board/post/312809/phpBB_mass-hack_being_prepared_ |

Looks like it's for phpBB forums only ? Sleepers Jeepers, this can be worrying.

I think phpbb is the biggest target at least. It's not the script itself but the people that don't keep up with the updates. I see people all the time on the support forum crying about being hacked then you ask what version they were using and they say something like 2.0.11, well phpbb is up to 2.0.21 so what do you expect. I do my updates the same day they come out. And my forum is so heavily modified that I have to make code changes by hand.

Can someone explain me how this work since I find registration for registration just a little confusing ! Are there posts involved too ? If not this is useles. You don't want high member number and low post number at the beginning of your forum career and later when forum is getting bigger you really don't need this.
