I was actually there because i was considering creating an account and wanted to check it out.

Then they pop one of those and lost me for ever!

      Bots can create accounts too. If it indeed was to prevent bots, they would just ask for a captcha test to continue browsing

      Not sure how forced account creation would help with either of those. Both are only problems when they already have accounts.
