Okay, after much lucky guessing with regards to the user object handling, I have an ALPHA VERSION of a plugin to do this. There’s nothing to stop spambots, this is purely a proof of concept, I’ll try adding a captcha or something later if necessary. Email verification sounds like a royal pain though. Save the files exactly where I’ve said and as ever, make sure you leave no whitespace around the PHP tags. Apart from that, please test it but it’s your own risk if you run it on a production server.

hope you understand.
BUT! Im happy to give “donations” if the developer is ok. How much do you charge?

Quick Version:
Is it feasible internally, to have a user post a comment to the forum and register at the same time?
Detail:
Something that’s been mentioned already by a regular reader of my blog is that he’d be far less inclined to leave a comment anywhere that he had to register first.
The BBPress registration process is mind-numbingly simple, but users first have to get over the two-step-hurdle of registering and then leaving their comment.
So it strikes me that, since the registration details are the same as you have to provide when blog-commenting some middle ground might be beneficial.
I imagine it working such that when the user submits their comment (topic) their confirmation message is along the lines of:
From here it becomes a small step to replace the wordpress comment mechanism with bbpress, which is somehting I’d like to do.
