Bot prevention

[picklemonkey]

I just added some a bot prevention measure to the registration process to try to prevent all of the spam we're getting. It requires a custom question be answered correctly by all new users who are trying to register. The downside is that every existing user will also have to complete the custom question the first time they try to edit their profile. If you try to edit your profile and get denied because you forgot to answer the custom question, don't be alarmed, just answer it and let me know if you have problems even though you're answering it correctly. We shouldn't ever see it again after we do it the first time.

I also added custom fields so we can enter our Facebook, SoundCloud, and MixCloud links directly on our profiles.

Good idea. I have seen some intruders in recent days.
