atari just pissed me off
i went to the unreal tournament 2004 offitial mod forum, trying to dig up some info on modding procedures for the ut2004 game engine. they use the same damn forum system hlp uses. so as i went to register i found out that because of their anti-spam policy they would not accept my email adress because it was not issued by my isp (wich here is an extra $10). they refuse to accept my hotmail address so therefore i cannot use their forum. this seems like a silly policy for running a forum. i should email a complaint to a few of the admins. ****ing bastards!
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Cuts down the rate of kiddies by such a high number.

The policy DOES make some sense, if you think about it.


Makes me glad my university throws in an extra email account.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

dude, who's your local consumer affairs-related type agency there?, they could have your ISP up for unfair business practices.

I use Hotmail. :(

I have an email account with Wanadoo, but it's too fiddly accessing it that I can't be bothered and just stick to this thing, which doesn't receive that much traffic anyway.
