It appears the sign in for the forums is a bit extreme in my humble opinion.
The over use of confirmation codes is almost a personal compulsion, proven via the requirement.
Although it's understood why the original need to exist, it's illogical to have it as a standard forum sign in procedure.
I noticed even if I select recognize this machine for 30 days feature, if I do a proper machine clean up, it makes all of the back up codes invalid, so where is the logic to make a forum user sign into their email every time just to obtain a new confirmation code for the machine? Considering Game maker itself keeps registration for their software on a computer drive, unless removed or HD changed.
I guess it's kind of a rant, but isn't intended to be mean or rude, merely as I said frustrating since I feel the site should store machine info via ip address to determine if the machine is permanent or not.
Or am I missing something here
