Why are Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts disallowed? It says something about spam, but I don't really understand it. On all other websites, theres no problems! :?

Because anyone can sign up to them and in turn sign up at TVF and use them to spam the forum - it takes minutes to create one of these accounts.

Personally I hate using Hotmail, Yahoo etc.

It's rather ineffective however. In fact, comparitively, Hotmail and Yahoo take longer to sign up to than other, not banned, free email providers.

I notice DigitalScum have banned gmail accounts. Now taking into account gmail accounts are hard to get and are for a clientel more classy than yahoo/hotmail I'm surprised at this.

Although DS never fail to surprise me with their idiocracy.

isn't it.

Loads of phantom pages now appearing on TVF. Blighting the midlands thread too of all threads, clearly this is the work of Arati.

Asa's purge of users and messages seems to have buggered things up in the long-running threads.

It is really annoying and taking the piss now, you try accessing the final page of the thread and nothing, you do it again with the previous 2 and you get nothing.

But we all know that Asa HATES long running threads, so it's probably deliberate to stop people posting further in them.

I don't like long threads either. Pain in the arse to navigate, so I just don't bother reading them.

The only 'long' thread I used to participate in was The Wales Thread, what with me being Welsh and having a tattoo of a dragon on my penis.
