Making email address optional on registration? vB3.8.7

[Max Taxable]

I have spent most of the morning searching to see if this has ever been done and come up Butkus.

I don't bother with email verification at all, (useless to stop spam and only annoys legitimate would-be members) and I want to also make the email address on registration a option rather than a requirement. So that, if someone chooses to leave the fields blank the registration still goes thru without a hitch.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

In your register.php file find and remove:
line 292

OR empty($vbulletin->GPC['email'])

That just might do it. If not we will go further.
