Tagged games:

I was trying to access another site, and apparently I cant join because i have a 'free' email address (hotmail)...does anyone know a site which will give me a non-free email address? I had no idea that other people paid for their email accounts. ;o

Stop trying to access NeoGAF >_>

By non-free, it means student or corporate.

One better alternative is paying a third party for email-only service. Pobox, for example, charges $50 a year for an ad-free address with 10 gigabytes of storage and offline access by POP and IMAP and the option of using your own domain name. (Forward-only accounts, which relay mail sent to your personal address to the inbox of your choice, cost less.) Opera Software's FastMail.fm offers a similar deal for $39.95 a year.

Is that a NeoGAF requirement?  I was thinking that so I went to there to register but it just says enter an email address.

Are you trying to access a porn site? Because I know a loophole if so.

It certainly used to be.

The idea is that you can't create alt accounts and escape bans/cause havoc. You can see the motivation behind it, but it's still a pretty stupid policy.

You get a few email addresses included with your internet service from your ISP. Those are not free email addresses. Check with your ISP.

Some internet providers give you access to their email. That's the only way I know.
