    Welllll. A) you use the email addy for a password reset B) users need accounts because EVERYTHING on the bbs centers around an account. Oneliners, message bases, doors ext. C) if you didn't have user accounts it would basically be a website. D) Yes bbs's are mainly a bunch of sysops messing around, BUT.. I just saw a kid with a polaroid instant camera the other day, so..... Everything comes around...
