Griping about internet forums

I sometimes have problems with internet forums and so Im posting here just to blow off some steam. Obviously I have not had this problem with this particular forum otherwise I wouldn't be posting here but I've had it with other forums and I will explain. When signing up on an internet forum usually you have to provide an e-mail address and from there an e-mail from the forum will be sent to the address and you then have to open the e-mail and follow the instructions to complete registration. I can see why a forum would require this and I think its a good idea. My gripe is this, when the forum doesn't sent you the e-mail. I've had that problem. I will try to register on a forum and I will not get the e-mail necessary to finish the registration. That really ticks me off.
