 (complex or otherwise). The extended profile component in BuddyPress
 (http://buddypress.org) already does nearly all the things you have
 described.

 Off topic maybe, but I've only recently tried BuddyPress only to be
 dismayed by the fact it appears that you either have a WordPress site or a
 BuddyPress site (that is unless you do *lots* of hacking.)  I'd love to
 have a main site with a BuddyPress "''off to the side''" like many people
 are now creating WordPress-based websites with a blog off to the side.

 So I concur with @GuruXL; it would be nice to have a better front-end
 based user registration system that doesn't require as much code as
 BuddyPress has to use for some use-cases, and for other use-cases it also
 be nice if BuddyPress could be integrated into a WordPress site w/o taking
 it over.
