Hanno,

Option 1 or 2 would work for me. And as others have mentioned....definately real names...preferably first and last.

When it comes to self-registration or registration and than manual activation by a moderator...I would say, go with what takes the least amount of time of the group of moderators.

p.s. I don't think MLU is outdated or limited....I still think it's one of the best forums around and I still think a forum is the best way to share MV or history related info with others ....................and still being able to find it later on!
