Correct. Of course, you could modify login.js to *not* call bbs.newuser() for
new user signups, but then you'd have to reproduce everything that the internal
(newuser.cpp) code does in JavaScript. Not an impossible task (see the web
server newuser.ssjs for example), but potentially problematic.
You can disable many of the new user questions with toggles in
SCFG->System->New User Values, or by setting the text.dat strings to blank
strings (which eliminates many prompts).
