Spam!

I've been inundated with automated fake registrations on the forum and, as a result, I've switched to administrator-approved registration rather than user-approved registration. That should protect you all from any nonsense postings on the forum. I've also banned the IP addresses associated with the countries that most of these registrations come from.

If I've done all this correctly, it should have virtually no impact on legitimate members. However, I'm still tweaking things so do let me know if you think things aren't working as they should.
