I manage a social networking for artists built on top of BuddyPress. I have been following BuddyPress since it's earlier iterations.

Wouldn’t it be cool for a plugin to remove wp-signup.php and xmlrpc.php from a BuddyPress installation in a way that these changes would be kept through an upgrade of WordPress (which now of course replaces the deleted files)?

@kiwipearls the only product I’ve fond effective (about 95%) is the antl-splogging @ http://wpmudev.org – it’s a premium membership site on he expensive side, but it’s working for me.
