Hotmail And MSN!

Why is it not possible to register on ATS with an MSN or Hotmail E-Mail???
I had to open a new account with someone else just to register!!!

I have gmail invites. Feel free to U2U me for a free invite.

speaking of gmail, hotmail, I have been told, just marks all gmail as junk mail. Interesting way to fight the competition. I quit using my hotmail account when my exclusive filter kept letting junkmail through advertising for things that would also be advertized on msn.com.

Besides, gmail is a whole lot better then hotmail.

GMail Rules!

Forgive me for bein thick, but whats GMail???

And why couldnt i register to ATS with Hotmail???

ATS doesn't allow you to use free emails to join to cut down on spam here and multiple accounts. Since anyone can start a hotmail account, a spamming company could just start 30 ATS accounts and start spamming the board with ads totally for free (less the time). This would just make more work for the mods who would end up getting rid of it anyway.

This also prevents multiple accounts where you could use other accounts to get your main account many points. GMail will probably be among those restricted as soon as it's out of Beta. Gmail is google's email service which gives you 1 gig of free storage space and a great search feature, as well. I like it a lot

Question answered.

Thanks.
