In an effort to combat SpamBots we will no longer be accepting registrations from Hotmail e-mail addresses starting today. If you use Hotmail and want to register as a new user please select an alternate e-mail address. We will also be reviewing all old accounts that use Hotmail for any Spam activity. If you are already registered and use Hotmail as your primary e-mail address you have nothing to worry about as long as you're not a SpamBot. If you are a SpamBot your account will be annihilated with extreme prejudice for 1 million Peta years.

Yesterday and today we had a few people try to register using Hotmail so we wanted to mention once again it is not allowed do to Spambot problems. If you want to join this site please use another e-mail service (we recommend G-mail).

Thank You

We may have to update the TOS so it is very clear.

FYI

To combat spambots we still don't allow Hotmail e-mail accounts on Amiga.org. If you tried to register with Hotmail and it failed please reregister with G-mail or something else. I saw a few failed registrations for Hotmail so I thought it might be good to bring this up again. Hotmail is obsolete and it's silly that anyone still uses it in the 21st century.

No problems with Yahoo? At work we've been blocking them for a year now. Hotmail, MSN, Live, ... have just joined them recently... ;)


Yahoo has not given us problems so far (cross fingers).
