Registration:
- added 2 full ranges of IP bans, due to spam coming from such. Should not affect any of the legion members tough.

If a user that tries to register is affected, he/she will receive a message notifying the ban and it's reason, as well as what to do in case they are genuine users.

Anti spam
- Some extra measures were taken to avoid guest spam. (new post validation code, extra auto ban rules, permissions readjusted)

Website
- New website is up, it is "bare bone" for now. Without special effects and special graphics. At this moment it is practical on the sense of having the structure i wish to give the website. Links to the other sections and visual effects will be added over time.

Forum posting:
- From now on maximum image size is 950 pixels for both width and height.

Any image bigger than that will be automatically reduced (not on bytes size, only on it's forum display size)

New member registration settings:
- Configured settings so that now, when creating a forum account, the person needs to insert a valid email in order to receive and follow an account activation link sent by email.

This is a temporary change,  hopefully will help fight some recent spam, until I am able to create extra posting rules for "forum lurkers" and increase the difficulty of anti-bot security code.

Forum membership symbols:
- Created aion rank images to replace the normal "stars".

This was me processing and applying a idea/suggestion given by Utherverse. Took me some time and work, but i think it stayed very nice. Enjoy.
