Hey nice forum, good luck on growing your community!
I did read something on your forum, and said that first two threads need approval in order to prevent spam. I think this sort of moderation discourages members to signup and participate on the forum. Spammers are a nuisance, but you happen to be using MyBB which has some great anti-spam mods!
I use this one: http://mods.mybb.com/view/stopforumspam-com-for-mybb
I know it has mixed reviews (the stars are not accurate), but the reason is because people need to configure the mod once it's activated. By default, it blocks people from registering spammy usernames, which is a problem because you can't register common names like "Steve". So you need to set it in the back-end so it only prevents people from registering if their IP Address is listed on a website called Stop Forum Spam. Once you do that, it'll stop almost all spam. I only get the occasional spammers that fill their profile with garbage links.
