Hey guys,
I've really enjoyed contributing and hanging out on this site for the past few months. I've noticed a few times that there's spammers getting onto the site and posting. Have you guys looked into a product such as vbStopForumSpam? I'm in no way affiliated with them, but I use their product on my own vBulletin website. Basically StopForumSpam.com is like e-mail RBLs - it's a database of usernames, e-mail addresses, IP addresses, etc that were used to spam on forums. People submit their spammers to that website and a big database of spammers is built. When new members try to register, it checks against their database to see if their username, e-mail address, or IP address are listed. If it is, then you can either have it automatically decline their registration or alert you. It has tremendously cut down the spammers on my site, so it's just a suggestion.
The other request is for an image resizer for the forum. I noticed images here get posted full size and it really stretches the width of the page. There's a ton of good image resizing products on vbulletin.org that would be beneficial and help keep the pages uniform and easy to browse.
