we are currently running in spam trap mode so we can populate a DB with spammer data

in plain english... since we are getting a bunch of bogus registrations we are forwarding that data to a spam service that puts the data collected into an anti-spam database, which helps fight spam for all forums that use that database

we hope you understand the delay in fully opening the forum while we contribute to the cause
