 * Right now we are using WP e-Customers on the WebTechGlobal website. You can register
   using WordPress as normal. Login and you will be confronted with an anti-bot 
   question offered by WP e-Customers. This is what my plugin already offers. Failure
   to login and answer the question results in the account being deleted.
 * So my approach is to allow bots to register in WordPress because just 1 hour 
   later the bot accounts are automatically deleted by WP e-Customers. The time 
   can be changed but lets face it if someone wants to use your site they usually
   complete the entire registration and activation within 2-3 minutes.
 * On answering the question correctly **WP e-Customers creates a phpBB forum account**
   for the user. This is working on my own website right now and you can give it
   a try. You do not need to be a customer. You’ll find that you can view WP e-Customers
   downloads screen but it will not offer anything. Eventually it will act as a 
   store with e-commerce ability.
 * **Email Templates and Bulk Email System**
    Another feature being added is an 
   Email Template post type and a bulk email system. The idea is to allow mass sending
   of emails without sending them all at once. This has many advantages. Version
   0.0.3 already sends emails to customers when their package version increases.
   This is automated. It is all very new and rough but the procedure is there and
   working.
 * Within the next few days I’ll be adding this new email system to the plugins 
   existing schedule system. The schedule procedure is very controlled, balancing
   all auto-mated actions so all tasks get a turn. This approach with emails will
   spread out the traffic response so it does not happen all at once. I’m considering
   the ability to stop emailing in a specific campaign when certain response limits
   have been met i.e. the click and purchase of a limited product. So we can email
   1000 potential customers offering a limited discount of 75% OFF for just 50 people.
   The schedule system can send a few emails every 10 minutes. After around 170 
   emails are sent if there are 50 purchased then the remaining 730 emails are cancelled.
   The functions to make this work are not complete but it is easily done. If you
   like the sound of it you got to let me know.
