LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2003 People in school can get permanent email addresses provided by their school. As long as they registered with an account like [email protected], then I don't see what the big deal would be. If someone has a permanent email address, they should bloody well register with it. If they don't, boo-hoo for them. I have the integrity of the board to think about, not the feelings of people who've yet to post on it. This all presumes we could implement something like this, of course. There are still people who cannot use an email like that and it's still not fair to them. This email idea is not the way to go. Quite frankly I've never liked any of the pay emails I've had in the past. The school email I had I ended up just forwarding everything to my Hotmail account. I don't have that school email anymore though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted August 5, 2003 No, stupid hyperbole is apparently next. I don't see why you're kvetching about this so much, considering a) we can't do it, and b) existing users would be exempted from it if we could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it would just piss me off if I wanted to sign up at another forum and all I had was a hotmail account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2003 Yeah I would be exempt, but that doesn't stop it from being a bad idea in my eyes. But since we can't do it I won't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
