Auto-delete of inactive users[/url-PLEASE!
PHP Syntax Highlighter

I think there's also one which forces new users to go to a rules page. I'd like that.

Also, here's a Disable Post Count Increase hack. I think you should install it and disable the post count increasing on the SPAM forum, so newbies don't spam in there to get their five posts once the hosting goes back up.
