I guess what my question really is.. Why register the forum with Zoints? And what happens once registered..

No, your members do not get posted on Zoints.com. The reason for the registration is mods like Synergy require a unique token and authentication key. Because of the data transfer, we have to know who is sending what and ensure it is done in a secure manner (for obvious reasons). The only way to do that is assign a unique authentication key and token during signup. Our mods that don't require secure data transmission don't require any signup.
