What's with evey site needing you to register?

For fucks sake.... So many sites out there now requiring you to register just to get at stuff you shouldn't NEED to register to get at.

Classic example: http://www.map-center.com/
Want a file from their downloads section, or even just want to get a filename so you can google it from somewhere else? No dice fucker. You have to get a username, password, log into your webmail, run the confirmation process, then key all that shit back into the site again to proceed.

Farce?

aye generally, and aye for map-center. it's a good resource but it'd be a hell of a lot better without the registration crap just to look at stuff/grab the odd file.

I forgot about bugmenot. Tis pretty win.

There's still the underlying problem mind. Are webmasters getting dumber, or is the increasing ease-of-use of web technologies enabling more plebians to create sucessful websites?

Its a conspiracy. They're forcing you to give seemingly useless information so they can track you.
