Admin note: gmail account no longer accepted

[The Dude]

Just a heads up that the forum will no longer accept gmail accounts. We have been getting hit by bots trying to sign up with either bogus or real gmail accounts (50-70 a day). They get caught before the registration is completed, but it's a severe hassle.

This applies only towards new accounts. Members who already have gmail email accounts can keep them (as opposed to AOL accounts).
