nowadays 90% of all forums require an account

A sad trend... The only benefit of preventing ghost posting is that it reduces the amount of random spam (someone popping in and posting "sdpigjfawrogj" or "you guys suck" or whatever), and spam from bots (rod enlargenment pills!). TDN is so small that this kind of thing has never been a problem. Besides that, preventing ghost posting just makes a forum look like an unfriendly place full of inbred pricks.

EDIT: Sorry if that comes across really harsh, but... god dang I despise forums that require you to create an account.
