I wish I could search the database without having to give you my email address.

You can also lie about the email used if you so desire. It's really just there as part of the social contract for using the site.
Any thoughts on a better way to handle that? The whole point of the free/ad-free site is the later reminder to come back and "do the right thing" and help future searchers.
your slogan should be "got error? paste it here."
1 - the user pastes his error message 2 - he gets a list of possible answers 3 - if he finds a suitable answer, he clicks on it 4 - if he does not find an answer, you ask him to give his email adress so that you notify him when an answer is found 5 - if an answer is found you notify him 6 - after 48hours you send him a message with the subject line "nobody found and answer to your question. did you find one?"
