A New User.

I told a friend about ATS and he wants to sign up, but he can't because ATS no longer accepts new users who have "free" e-mail accounts such as Hotmail, Yahoo!, etc.

How can he go about signing up for ATS if he only has a free web-based e-mail?

It seems he misses out.

The policy has been around a couple of months, and it's good security and avoids constant trashing and spamming of the boards with no consequences to the registered user.

Not questioning the value of your friend, 10DI10, but I back the registration policy entirely.

So he's pretty much #ed because other people have abused the board? Can ATS make him an exception since I know he's not going to # things up on the board?

Well if all options fail, I'll just find a friend who has AOL and see if he can use their e-mail to sign up.

Exactly...but I should ask...what ISP is he using? Surely, it provides him with an e-mail addy.... If for some reason it isn't feasible, he can always have someone with an ISP create an e-mail addy for him, and then he's set....

I didn't know that that was a policy, hm, i'm glad i've been registered for a while, otherwise i'd be pretty screwed to
