Basically, there's a four-step process when it comes to attracting new members:
1. Get them to come to MFGG.
2. Show them that it's a cool place to be.
3. Make them register an account.
4. Convince them to stick around.
I want to make the third step - the registration process - as quick and easy as possible (without sacrificing functionality or attracting too many spambots).
The default MyBB registration page includes a lot of clutter that doesn't need to be on the registration page. During the testing phase, I used the templates to remove all the stuff in the shaded area:

However, when I did this, some odd bugs occurred. For example, all new users would have PMs disabled by default.
It would be awesome if someone found a way to streamline the registration page without breaking anything.
