Issues with Joining the Forum?

Someone told me they were having difficulties with joining the forum:

When I type "Wyrmsun" or any other Featured Projects, the forum denies registration.

I have alphabetized the list, removed projects whose subforums are no longer accessible, and added Terminal Overload and Wyrmsun.

Might the list of accepted answers check be case-sensitive?

Yeah a function which normalizes a project name would be good, used on both the input and the names from the list.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
if  normalize_name(input) == normalize_name(name_list[n]) then
  allow_registration...
end


I'd not only make it convert to lowercase, but also remove spaces and non-alphanumeric characters.
