LAN Party Registration

I own a LAN party web site that runs on Geeklog, and I cant seem to find any plugins that support a "registration" system for LAN parties. I'm wondering if anyone else has come up with something similar to this, since I'm way too lazy to actually program it myself.
Thanks

You haven't said anything about what you need.
If all you want is e-mail addresses, just ask your users to register for the site itself. Geeklog then lets you send e-mail messages to specific users or just all of them.
If you want some extra work, hack Geeklog's default registration system and replace it with your own custom page (e.g. "Will you bring your own computer? Y/N")
But as for just the e-mail addresses, they won't be able to see each other's and therefore will be unable to spam each other (or you).
Actually, the only one who can see their real addresses...is you, the admin.
So unfortunately (for them), as admin, you'll be able to see their real addresses and therefore copy them into your mailing list or whatever...
You can also use Geeklog's own mailing list. Actually, you can also combine it with custom groups. For example, assign everyone who wants to join game X into group X, gamers Y into group Y, etc.
Then, when it's time for game X, just e-mail group X.
You can also create different topics and then arrange that, say, group X gets e-mail messages whenever you post a new article in topic X...

I apologize for not being more accurate. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I need somethign that will allow already registered users to register seperatly to let me know if they plan to come or not, what clan theyre in, etc.

why not try a custom form on a php enabled static page that shoots you an email upon submission. that shouldn't be to hard to work out. and you could make use of GeekLog's mail functions and user tables.
just a thought
also, while it sends the email, it could refresh the page to display a list, now including the most recent entry, of all parties planning on playing and their team affiliation, etc.

DataStream,
I have a plugin that I've written for a client that allows you to create "Special Event Types" like "Lan Party" in the event calendar. These eventtypes are then linked to my registration plugin.
Members then viewing the event-details in the calendar will see a link for "Register Me" or "View Registered Users". They can then Register or UnRegister or View who is Registered.
The Admin has admin tool to view registrations for these special events and add/delete members if need.
You can set Max number of attendees per event as well.
If interested - contact me. It's not one of my many free components yet.

That sounds great. I would be interested in that as well for another event I will be organizing in the future.
