I hope to get some sort of account system up and running over the long weekend. I'll probably also set up a git repo if anyone ones to help or add more code to it.
Part of the reason it always asked for e-mail was because I had plans for accounts before, and using the e-mail would allow you to reclaim your old posts. It will also prevent them for using your name Kappa (and it sucks that they are doing that). I could disable updating until the accounts are online, but if it takes longer then I hope it could be just as annoying. I'll leave that as your call if you guys want me to do that as a stop gap.
