I'm a member of various forums (web design, snake breeding, etc) and make a practice of not allowing email from any of them. It isn't because I don't want contact with people (which is ridiculous considering I'm a member of the forum) but rather because, for unscrupulous people, it's very easy to sign up for a free account, and then go through the member list and harvest those email addresses for the purpose of selling them to spammers. I've had several previous email addresses rendered pretty much useless due almost to this fact alone. That member may not contribute a single post to the community and still, just by signing up for the account, they'll have access to those addresses. <br /> <br />I don't consider myself paranoid, I just don't have time to go through hundreds of emails a day trying to sort them out. Most forums have a good PM system anyway (not sure if we do here or not). <br /> <br />So for those of us who don't allow, it's not necessarily that we're unfriendly...for me it's just become habit.
