well first of all i have to say that i am very depressed, i had to put my car away for the winter last weekend i hate f##ing michigan weather. anyways i was wondering if someone could help me out with something. im trying to become a member of nethirdgen.org, but everytime i try it and i give them my correct email, it always says that my email address has been banned?? wtf??! anybody else had this experience or could anybody help me out here? thanx in advance poorz~

What kind of email address? Is it a blahblah@aol.com or something like that or is it from another site that gives you accounts?

its rpoortenga@hotmail.com and everytime i use that as my email address, it sez my email is banned ?? do you know how to fix this? thanx in advance

I had a similar problem. I tried to join about a week ago and got a message that they weren't accepting new members. ??? Then the other day it acted like it was gonna let me join, but then some error message came up. I don't remember what it said, but it wasn't pertaining to my email. Dunno what the deal is...

A note to the moderators: I think it would be rather unjust to lock this thread since we are honestly trying to post non-tech in the non-tech section.

O.K., I won't lock it.

I know that some message boards do not accept hotmail accounts (MicroSoft EATS it again - HA! HA!) Far too many people get hotmail accounts to be tracked successfully. The accounts tend to go out of service quickly, and are prone to spamming and abuse. You can thank Mr. Gates' "ultimate wisdom" and ambition for wanting to control the Internet for that. It's a damned good thing that MicroSoft isn't involved in commercial air travel, or there would be no safe flying - they'd find a way to screw that up, too. You can't just reboot at 35,000 feet...

Use a different email account and try it again, or email the Administrator at NEThirdGen.org for instructions.

Honestly guys/girls not too many sites are going to let you use hotmail type email accounts. Due to security reasons and other such things that we don't need to get into. I would just use my "home" email address that was given to me by the ISP.

I would like to know why you can't drive your car in the winter?

I'm sure they get snow all the time up there, and when that happens they just cake the streets with salt, which is not good for cars. I just started college in the mts. and it snows a lot of up here, I won't be driving my car when that happens, I'll just bum a ride from someone. Imagine what that salt does to the underbody of the car and the paint. Besides the fact that our cars don't handle well in the rain much less the snow, or at least mine anyways. I wish I had a POS car to drive during the winter.

yeah your right about what you said, i dont want the salt to ruin my nice car. not only that but my cooper cobra tires handled like complete crap last winter(i had to drive it last winter due to no winter beater) i even had 3 50lb bags of salt in the back to get traction but no luck. im still having problems with getting a friggen membership to nethirdgen! those guys are pissing me off cuz i emailed them about the problem, and they didnt respond, guess ill have to stick with good old thirdgen brothers

I've got a hotmail account for my address there, so I dunno.

Email the webmaster at macgyver@nethirdgen.org and let him know you're having problems...
