People have continued to sign up and manually spam. Usually it was from China or the middle east. I had been banning IP blocks. When it was from other places I would complain to the ISP. But more and more of this keeps happening and increasingly from places where I don't want to ban their entire IP block.
So it is admin activation from now on. The security question will stop the scripts, so it should only be a couple e-mails a day. I don't mind doing them. People can just wait for me to do it.
