Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

The registration system is tricky. You and I have been around long enough that we've never had to go through it.
Here is my review of the process.
It already begins on this terms and conditions agreement page.
The “spammer bait” link is normally invisible, but in the odd chance that your browser is configured to display hidden elements, you should not click it. It will ban your IP address or worse. Of course, the spammer bait link is the exact same link that the agree-link would be in an unpatched phpBB system. It is effective in catching roboted registrations that do not read the link label.
Before this page, there used to be a COPPA-thing which required the user to confirm whether they are over or under 13 years age, but I removed that because I do not operate in the United States and neither I nor most of the users could care less. I find it curious that the current administration has not reinstated it, considering the site does run from United States nowadays.
In a related note, there should be a privacy policy declaration somewhere which I find curiously absent, but that is beside the point of this study.
On the registration page, there is a captcha. Here are two pictures; first is what I left it as, and the second is what the folks who maintain this site today have changed it to.
The requirement of “first five characters” seems to have been added by someone else, but otherwise the captcha is my handwriting. The arrow is there to indicate the direction of counting (left-to-right), but otherwise it is designed so that the same result is gotten whether you count vertical-horizontally or horizontal-vertically.
For the usability aspect, with color-blind people in mind, all three colors are rendered in different fonts, and samples of the colors are shown in the top left corner of the picture. Although for some reason, the samples do not use these fonts. I’m not sure if that’s an oversight from my part.
Then, after successfully filling the registration form, you get a confirmation e-mail.
Which looks like this:
Or rather, it used to look like that. Later, I changed the password into "(you should know it already)", and the folks who are at helms today have changed it into "******". They also changed the sender and the signature.
This time, the antispam link is not hidden from honest users. You actually have to be careful not to click the wrong link. The wrong link follows the same format that actual activation links do in vanilla phpBB, again, to catch automated systems that already know how the link is supposed to look but only need the activation token. If you do accidentally click the first link, this is what you will see:
Before TASVideos was TASVideos, the e-mail looked like this:
For the record, this is what the captcha used to look at some point…
Beautiful, but ineffective.

We also have additional protection that Bisqwit did not mention.
The first couple of posts are monitored and if they trigger spam detection, the posts and user is deleted as well.

lol ok.... you don't have to TELL me just send a compilation of DETAILS
to Zilmar the GRAND over at the Project 64 forums..
Nach that really you?
ZSNES etc..
your everywhere lol ;)
I didn't know how much I wanted to know what the site registration process was like nowadays until I saw this.
Also, that "original CAPTCHA" is amazing. I'm assuming that the current one mostly works simply because it's hard to adjust the API of existing CAPTCHA-breaking libraries to it, rather than because it's hard for computers to break in an abstract sense.
As a "new" user I never experimented problems validating my account, is not very hard you only need to read well, maybe it took me 5 minutes I do not remember atm.
