i just registered her today and i noticed that you do not have to confirm your email address. i would imagine this could lead to big spam problem, much like what happened at bsdforums.org... since you do not have to verify your account and you can register with a fake email address. just a thought.

That would block all those with IQs below 60 and all Windows users. :D
