    Extreme Visual Basic Forum (www.visualbasicforum.com)

    Every time I try to register there I get: "Sorry. The administrator has banned your email address. To contact the administrator click here"

    I've never registered there before, so my e-mail can't be banned, and plus that I've made a NEW e-mail account at hotmail.com, and I used the new one, and I still get the "... email banned..." reply when I want to register...

    I've sent a message to the Admin, but after like weeks of waiting, I still don't have any reply....

    So what's going on with that web-site ?
    They have to many ppl there or something ?

    They don't allow anonymous email addresses like those from hotmail, etc.

    Besides, they suck. You don't want to go there anyway.
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    You never want to post a rival forums question here. Oh but they really do suck, you wont get an answer for weeks, and even then it wont be serious. I signed up last year when this forum was having all its problems. Anyone else remember all those days it was down?

    Oh, if they don't allow addresses such as hotmail and yahoo, I must think they really are jerks

    Besides they probably are the same guys who are running the vbforums show now, i.e. this place...
