Some suggestions you may or may not find useful:
If a new user has registerred it would be nice to have a log entry somewhere whith the name and the ip address, so it's easier to lock out troll attempts. Maybe the error log could be renamed to something like a more general log. Then we could add both errors and "system messages" like new registrations or future events which seem to be of importance.
With the previous point in mind, it would be beneficial if a new but still unconfirmed user would only be displayed as "new user" on the frontpage once the account as been confirmed and/or granted (depending on the forum configuration). The current approach makes it possible for trolls to to to choose offending names (like "foo_is_an_idiot" or such) which will immediately appear on the page. I think the approach should be not too feed such ill minded persons. Also it would solve the phenomenom that the forum members score would be more accurate as it only takes confirmed registrations into account.
On another note, it seems that some Windoze mailclients screw up the confirmation key, so people keep getting an error when attempting to reach that url. I know it's not Fud's fault, but maybe there's another way to make the key look like so that even the average WinXP /Outlook Express guy is able to succeed with registration.
