Alternatively, you could upgrade to PhpBB3, but I'd make sure to do it on a non-live test server first. The new permission system is a bit odd and takes some getting used to. Other than that, though, version 3 is pretty nice.

Only problem is that even if you don't approve the new member, you still end up with all those usernames in the memberlist.
They never get to post, but you still have to go back and delete all the usernames
We have a PHP bbs for our extended family to keep in touch & plan events. Every couple weeks I have to go in and delete ~100 "c##tf##K69" and "pornoman" usernames
