its an ok idea but for example if its like 5 o clock in the evening and everyone goes on the forums for their daily dose of arniesairsoft and lots of people read a newcomers "hi" and start pm'ing him thus creating about 50 pm's for the newcomer and also once he has his account unlocked he will have to remember to post a reply to the "hi" topic to say his account is unlocked otherwise he might be reciveing pm's for hi's eversince he registered which would be quite an inconviniance to some people,
just thought i would point that out nice idea tho
cheers
