Somebody really has to just DO it. I won't complain if it's not me. I wouldn't even complain if I started and then got obsoleted. Garage would be OK, but they need to make it clear that you don't have to be a developer to sign up. Right now, I'm sure very few end users are signed up there.
The multiple registrations are an issue. When you have a handful of computers that get reinstalled once or twice a year, and about a dozen active forums, plus 3 or 4 emails, plus bank accounts, plus paypal, plus computer/network passwords... it gets to be too much. Password managers don't help. When a forum demands that you register even to *read* the forum, it becomes WAY too much.
And really, how do you know that the moderator and/or hackers won't take your username/password combo and try it on another site? If you suspect it, you make yet another name/password combo. I have too much on my mind right now to maintain another password in my short term memory, and I don't think I'm alone.
