Implemented Inactive sites - disabled stats/details page

When a site is pending approval, the stats page still works if the URL is entered manually. Lets make it so its doesn't.

This will discourage spammers hitting lists that may have lazy admins. 1 reported user from another toplist has 123,000 pending members (all spam obviously) and sure enough those pages work and are indexed complete with backlinks for the spammers.

VisioList has much better spam prevention than most (all?) old lists, so the problem has not surfaced with us, but we'll stay ahead of the curve on this one.
