#0, ATTN AOL Users
Posted by Gryphon on May-28-13 at 03:25 PM
I've seen a spate of obviously bogus accounts regged using AOL addresses recently, so I've added aol.com to the "you can't register from an address in these domains" list. As far as I know, it shouldn't affect those of you who are already registered, but just FYI.

Actually, my mom still uses her AOL address. To be honest, I haven't quite figured out how to get her onto a 'real' account and email client, but since all she uses it for is local community emails, it hasn't been a real concern.

Still annoying, though. :/

Well, as long as she doesn't try to sign up for a Forum account with it, she should be fine. :)

Well, yeah. And it's still my primary e-mail address because:

(a) they have pretty good spam filtering; and
(b) keeping the same e-mail address since 1991 provides a certain continuity, should someone need to reach me.
