hi_resurrection Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Hi, I am trying to register to a forum but it requires an e-mail address from an ISP (aol, bt etc) and I don't have an ISP e-mail address anymore. I have encounted one like this before and my gmail account worked. Is there any free e-mail service that will act in the same way as an ISP e-mail account? I'm guessing forums like this block well known e-mail providers such as hotmail and gmail. Will there be a free e-mail provider to get around this or do you think it will have to be an ISP e-mail address? Thanks.
Weirdy Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 The email account I'm reg'd under is a hotmail one. I think gc changed it so that not just anybody would register.

It's a different one with different sign-up rules.
Weirdy Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Oh; well, then I don't think so. Boards usually do this to weed out dumbasses, spammers, and trolls who are usually the ones with nothing but free email accounts (*whistles innocently*). Usually it's either ISP email addresses or email addresses with a.edu domain.

ken_cinder Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 See if they have this place blocked. Then you can change your email after signup. http://spambox.us/
Mag Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 how can you not have an ISP email anymore? see you are only if you are freeloading broadband or if yer on free dial-up, and even that, you should get an account. Call yer ISP and confirm that yer a customer, should able you to get a new account even if yer old is still there left forgotten or w/e.
Shibathedog Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 i forget exactly how i did it (I think when you download the MSN Browser it lets you do this) but you can register an @msn.com email address which is an ISP
Mag Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 or gmail (name@gmail.com).. it always works for me since they dont accept only yahoo, hotmail
