@eglacias ,
As it’s now owned by Microsoft in part or whole, that’s a distinct possiblity.
I’m not enamored of laughingly called social media either, but that is NPP’s option. I got a Google account with my ‘smart phone’, that I really didn’t use a lot until recently, NPP forums being one of them, and would not ever use any of the other mentioned social media sites. I have a Github account now, only because of NPP, so I guess I have two options, but I’m not fully entrenched in Github at this point either. It’s just to accomplish a few things and learn about it, but again, because of NPP. So, use what doesn’t make you cringe, but those are your options as far as these forums are concerned.
I suspect, that because it’s too easy for people to make unaccountable multiple email addresses that they chose to use that medium for registration. There are several malcontent users that do nothing but try to disrupt forums and it makes it easier to find and block them… like in Hackers as a connection to Dade was found and closed “Thank you for playing”. :)
