I have actually (with the help of a 20-pound lump hammer) managed to beat hivmail into some sort of useful program.

http://www.nzboards.com/nzbmail : A nice 'integrated' login/register page that checks if you are a logged in member (with at least 5 posts..Usergroup perms) of the site before allowing you to sign up.

I even managed to make it take on the css of ONE of my styles...

In saying all that, VBMS was a whole heck of a lot more tightly integrated, at least style-wise, with vB. HM doesn't give a toss about your existing Usergroups by default...they sign up and you have to manually shift them into an HM Usergroup.

It also has a fun little bug whereby if you are using the standard vB "integration" (what a joke that is), your members won't be prompted to enter much of the info...leaving you unable to change their accounts at all, because they have no Secret Question.

You also don't get notified of new users etc.
