Is it possible to set all new forum registrations to moderated? So i have to manually review each forum that is made before they go live?
I'd like this function because i was a forum host in the past for one year and the amount of spam and warez forums that people try to make is a huge problem.
Thank you.

Yes, there are two options: to make users validate their registrations, and to make host validate all registrations, both options can be used at the same time. If you enable both options, when user registers a forum, he receives email with confirmation link, clicks link, then you receive email with another confirmation link, clicking it will activate account.
If you don't want to activate some account, you can just ignore activation email, there is expiration time on all registrations, so it will be automatically deleted after certain time.

Ok, so what about a field that the user has to explain briefly what the forum is about? If i'm going to activate the forum using the link i wanna know what kind of forum is being created. What details do i recieve in the activation email regarding the user's forum?

Activation emails are in separate php files (one for admin, other one for user activation), you can edit text as you want and add any details from registration data.

Re: One question...
So basically if i wanted i could make a box/field on the registration form that asks the user to give some info on the forum they're about to make?
For example:
*Please give a brief description of the forum you're about to make
{Answer_by_user_here}
*Required field.
Or something similar to that? How easy would it be to implement this? would you be willing to help if i bought the script today?

It is rather easy if you are familiar with php. There is already a sample module in phpbbhs that does similar function, all you need is to copy it and make few changes. I'm usually not writing modules on request (not for free), but I do help and explain process when asked on support forum.
