I liked this hack very much. I did something above and beyond the hack that I feel perfectly integrates it into my board.
First thing I did was killed the e-mail and profile links to public view. Why? PM will notify the intended user via e-mail without showing e-mail address.
This provides an interesting situation.1. The user comes back to the board.
2. E-mail address is strictly private
3. Only registered users can send other people posting replies a private message. Guest can not get straight to the registered user anymore.
Now to make this work right for me I also had to add the homepage link under the users name. This is useful and fair since I killed the profile link. Where did I put the profile link? I put in in the IP Display link. Only Moderators and Admins can view any e-mail address and profile.

In addition to the above I also turned off the email and profile links in the members.cgi file and last user to register. Registered users can only view or edit thier own profile.
Anyway, I'm still working on my CYPM Optimization integration hack but would love to hear suggestions/feedback.
See it in action
