Like I said, it wasn't a dig at you, but trying to compare a server list that is owned by a single person vs. a free-to-join forum that requires a 'confirmed' email is a little odd. Every forum I've ever joined requires a 'confirmed' email account, this isn't new or something we chose to do, it's just how it happens to be when you run a forum. As far as the Technic Launcher, that also doesn't count since its open source. Anyone that looks at it will tell you that it does nothing besides hand off that information to Minecraft's authentication servers. Go check it yourself, it's wide open.
