We have removed the activation mail part from our registration process. It caused too much trouble, and wasn't really necessary anymore. Registering should be easier and faster now

I'd also like to make some comments on why our contribution system isn't there yet. I had a pretty hard week (some serious things happened which I won't describe here) and was unable to work on CGN.
I started working again yesterday, and gave the registration pages priority today, because the activation mail issue was getting out of hand.

I hope you understand my situation. Have a little more patience, and be rewarded with some additional features
