I've tried to register and it's saying my email address (Hotmail) is banned!

Has anyone else had this? I can find a contact email for anyone who deals with site reg'n.

Thanks,

Jez

I can only presume that thay have had problems with people registering what is quite an anonymous email (like hotmail) and be abusive.
I think you need a reasonably permanant email address.

I have one at work, but I've been off with a complex leg fracture for 3.5 months! Tried my Yahoo one too and that said banned.

Bloody annoying!

Not bashing them, just annoying that they won't accept web email addresses, which is all I have at home. It's the first forum I have ever come across that won't accept a Hotmail address. Daft considering they have security on their registration page.

So if you have a hotmail address, you'd have to open a brand new account somewhere else just to register.

Ironic.
