I think this way would be easier I am looking for the add on to enable this feature when I find it I will post it but for now here is a great add on for :
Prevents spam bots registering on your forum by removing fields you want in registration and profile form until users reach certain requirements. If spam bot is detected, it sends an email notification to you with username, IP address, and more.

Sounds good..... If there is an add on that makes things harder for spam bots I'm all for it.

As per your request..... I added a FAQ seciton.

Efrain and I haven't gone over all the details about the new forum ideas but I figured he wouldn't mind if I added this new area right now.

I think an air intake one with links to all our posts would be good - its often asked about.

I think it would be good to make a new members forum at the top of the page, so that new members can introduce themselves.

I will be doing a recruitment drive here locally, so hopefully we can make use of it!
