Ecomodder should really consider implementing a Facebook connection. vBulletin has modifications that allow you new guests to register using their Facebook accounts for basically one-click signup. The same goes for many other social sites like Twitter, Google+, etc.
This is how things on the internet are moving. All the kids have at least one social network profile. Instead of remembering multiple logins for multiple sites, using Facebook to create accounts on forums like this really helps more people register.
While you may not use it personally, it's a powerful marketing tool for the site. Adding in Facebook "share" and "like" buttons gives ecomodder threads exposure to all of that persons friends. Plus, you could create ecomodder accounts on Facebook and the rest. Share and post the frontpage stories to the profiles and draw in more interested visitors to the site.
If you want examples of how big and important it is becoming, head over to your favorite news website and look at the comment system. I can almost guarantee you that the comment system allows you to login via a social network account.
