Email addresses gained in this fashion are valuable. You have opened up a direct pipeline to the inbox of someone who has a specific interest that you know about. It's not like someone signing up for a mailing list on a whim who forgets about it later on. Email addresses from forum registrations or most other kinds of registrations to sites are much better than mailing list signups IMHO.
