The point of emails in sign-ups?

Do you even know what "optional" actually means?

CAPTCHA's not going to take too much time out of your day.

CAPTCHA's not going to take too much time out of your day.

Problem is, what if someone loses their password for whatever reason, and how can they recover it without the risk that someone else could reset their account's password (if emails were optional)?

There would be no password recovery. But if someone wants to, they can link an email to the account (for password recovery purposes).

He most likely doesn't email people most of the time. He has better things to do (like run a site).

So why annoy him with something so site changing as this?

I demand a mandatory Kiwifarms mailing list that gets sent every 3 hours that you can't opt out of to punish normies who use their normal email to sign up here.

It was a joke, because emailing some random user isn't important in comparison to changing a site. The original comment was also a joke.

I have no intention of ever checking the email used for this account ever again. I can never forget the password and if it ever gets corrupted or hacked, I'm confident I can validate my identity to those I have private convos with. You can steal my name and avatar, but you can never steal my writing style and autistic memory!

This is the original comment. Why shouldn't I make a rather light-hearted jab at it?

How come you never get in touch with me?

Just admit you've made a fool of yourself, it's okay.

We all act like faggots every now and again.

No. I want a bulletproof way to get in touch with people. It becomes necessary.

Like anyone connects their throwaway lolcow.email to anything real or ever checks it...

I mean, jesus, the sign up page itself instructs you to do that.

Now I gotta check all the important communiques I've missed from Null. No wonder he's always so mad at me!
