No. I tried too. They don't like Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo. :(

You need to pm ron or one of the other admins. Sign up from free email accounts was disabled years back because people would cause trouble, get banned and sign up with another email account and a new user name. At least i think thats the reason.

thanks for reminding me Mike. My brother wanted to join the forums and I completely forgot to speak to the admins about helping him out.

Due to abuse from free e-mail accounts (we were having issues where banned users would re-register and cause problems again), the decision was taken to ban all free e-mail accounts.

Our position is non-negotiable regarding this, and under no circumstances will any exception be made.

THIS is why I do not frequent these forums anymore.

Made a plan, but you're sure as hell not to see me around anymore.

Because of banned users creating new accounts with free email addresses?

A bloody admin cannot have enough faith in a user that's been around for 5 years and 8k posts to CREATE ONE MEASLEY ACCOUNT for someone he knows. OMG it's bullcrap. Even places like XS give you better help.

I'm not going to treat you like a fragile doll just because you have a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement. If you don't like it, just get over it.

End of discussion.
