You do need an email to sign up, although since they allow a user to be 'logged in' as more than one user at a time, they may allow more than one account per email address. And they don't do email confirmation, though. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.

>You do need an email to sign up

No you don't. You can leave the email box blank and sign up with no problems.

Not anymore.
This is not true!

Just to be sure I just tried it via iOS Safari and signed up for a new account by entering a username and a password. Left the email field blank. Works like a charm.

You're incorrect. You can leave the email field blank.
I've got about a hundred accounts and none of them were created with an email address.
