What are the email options for this forum? I tried to log into my spymac account today and it wouldn't let me. Maybe because I haven't used it in a year or two. I use hotmail exclusively and have since 1999. I have a Cox.net Business account and was never issued an ISP email box. So mods/admins, what are my options for an email account to keep with the forums?

Hotmail isn't allowed here. You might want to check the FAQ for others that are forbidden.

edit: Rats. Sniped again while I was composing. :)

Not really answered. What alternative is there other than to move to another message board?

edit: corrected two spelling errors.

3. If you receive a message saying your E-Mail address is banned, you can contact the forum moderator to question why. Below is a list of E-mail services that were banned due to abuse, and will not be re-activated upon user request.

AOL
Bigfoot
Excite
Gotoworld
Hotmail
Nightmail
Whitehouse
Yahoo
All domains operated by portofevil.com, aka evilemail.com

If you can't "figure out" which email addresses are valid and invalid, even with the help of this nifty list that was linked for you, perhaps you should simply find a new mesasge board.

It's not exactly rocket science - the 'tards in OT seemed to have managed to get on. :)
