Sorry...yes hotmail accounts are banned due to the mountain loads of spam signups that happen. A fair number are already in the system, they got in before the lock.

Like the ones where you have to put in a combination of numbers and letters displayed in an image to proceed. They stop a lot of Spam Bots because they can't process the img. Just my 2 cents.
those dont really work, but the security question filter I installed on my board stopped all spam. Very easy mod and very effective.
Here are a few. I forget which one I am using.

because quite often they'll get an actual person to join forums to post spam. if you ask them a car guy's type of question, it makes it hard for them...

YOu can join with ANY email account, and change it in your profile after joining. I did that for mine the other day, so if anyone has a spare email account they want to lend out for this, PM Flav

Yes, that would be awsome... she did try one @ live and it did not work either.

She didn't try hard enough then. Not like me, I'm a try hard superstar.
This account is logged in using a live.com.au address. She needs to have another go.
