btw hacker, a bot can do some crazy calculus + vector work so it can always shoot you down outta the sky. can a human (or a singing rat) do that?

1) It guards against spam bots.
2) It helps (a little) enforce having only one account per person. Yeah, it's easy to get another email address, but that's why many forum sites don't allow registration from the free email address providers like hotmail and yahoo.
3) It prevents "drive-by" postings from fly-by-nighters that have no intention of becoming community regulars. (This is the source of Riavan's frustration, apparently.
)4) It gives a means for the forum moderators to contact members outside of the forums themselves, in case the member doesn't regularly visit.
5) Reasons 5 and higher are too obscure for me to think of in the 30 seconds I'm devoting to this reply.
