This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

The only issue I can see is why are you sending the password to the person in the email at all just seems redundant... I think I may have run into a tree though.
