That's a good point. We're working on allowing users to quickly jump into playing (with a temporary account), by just asking for a username, then allowing them to complete registration later if they choose.

It's not entirely about spam, either... user accounts are closely tied in with the structure of the site, so it's hard to have accounts and anonymous users playing the same game. If you sign up, you'll see that there are a lot more features on the site than just playing! For example, the home page turns into a news feed sort of page, where you can see new activity on threads you've played in. The user profile page (here's mine: http://www.teledraw.com/user/camupod), which allows people to check out the turns you've played on previous threads.

Give it a chance, please? :)
