Hi,

We are considering using Discourse for our co-op forum but one of the problems we’ve encountered with other forums is they require each user to have their own email address. In our forum many of our users will be kids, many of whom will not have email addresses of their own. What I’d like to do is allow them to login with a username and no email address. Is this possible or is there a hack or work around that we can use to make this work? I saw a similar post where someone was using fake email address but I’m hoping there is something more elegant.

Thank you!
