Haven't seen a forum that didn't require a valid email to sign up - for the simple reason that it eliminates spam users registering...
A confirmation/activation email is sent to insure the account is 'real'.
If you ever need to reset your password - it will only be possible with a valid email on file.
As others said - free emails abound... I use different email addresses for different purposes.
