I noticed that our newest member has a questionable name... beware of spam!

sccx was having this problem big time, however we are running phpbb so I don't know if the same can be done here. I made it so that only active users showed up in the member list, this removes them from the search engine and removes the spammers motivation to do an automated registration.
BTW an active user is some one who has replied to the URL provided in an email when some one registers for the site. maybe the same can be done here.

i posted it in the admin forum at 8am this morning. i'm sure carlton has seen it and dealt with it already, he's usually pretty quick about that stuff.
