Is there a way to register users manually in bbPress? I can't seem to find a way in the admin interface (using bbPress 1.0.3). I had both a captcha and human check but spam registrations were still coming through an inundating our mail server.

We don't know of a way to add a user via the admin interface (a strange feature to be lacking, we agree). Off the top of my head what you could do is add the registration file (register.php) back (I'm assuming you deleted/ modified it and are only accepting manual registrations?), rename it to something like register-admin.php, and password protect it.
Then, when you get an email from a valid user asking for a registration, you can load up register-admin.php in your browser, plug in their email address, and they will receive the registration as normal. This is basically a way of bypassing the registration form so spam bots and malicious users don't take advantage.
