I can tell you right now email confirmations don't really stop spambots all too well anymore, and phpBB's CAPTCHA sucks, so you're going to have to install a mod if you want to stem any flows of spambots that would come your way.You can always wait until you get a hosting account here as well. I don't think it will hurt too much after you import your database to here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
