I'm wondering if there is a way to add custom fields to the "create new account" form. I want a new user to be able to send comments when they register that are visible to the administrator. I've got the administrative approval requirement option set. I'd like a potential new user to be able to send me a comment when then join, so that I can determine if they really belong in the group. Also in some cases I may want to assign different roles to a new user based on their comments. If they are already a member of our organization I want to assign them a special role, as opposed to an ordinary user who is authenticated, but not a member. Does anything like this already exist?

Try Content Profile. They've got an option for exposing fields upon registration.

I think that will do the trick. I'm actually running Drupal 5, so it looks like I need to use Node Profile instead. This is actually more than I hoped for. My ultimate goal is to associate user profiles with a custom content node that contains all the information about a particular member. It looks like this will automatically do that. Thanks for the tip.
