Why I love Subsim
I like to mod my games more than play them. So that means scouring the internet for tools and knowledge. I came across one such site containing both for Wings Over Vietnam. So I have to register to download this utility, no big deal. That is until I saw this,

Nonsense
I ran into the same kind of thing trying to join a gamers forum once. Because I use gmail, I was not permitted to join !
What rubbish! |

Actually, I don't think that SubSim permits gmail accounts either. Every time Neal allows it we are inundated with bots.

I noticed problems occurring with my Hotmail account about a year or two ago and switched to a secondary account I created from my isp and have never had a problem since.

Yeah, when I tried joining subsim I had problems; firstly with usernames being taken and then because I was trying to use a hotmail account - took me ages to realise that the previous dozen names I tried had been ok and that it was hotmail that was now the issue! Ended up using my work email, and only just turned off instant notifications, after a weekend I'd open Outlook and there'd be about 70 notifications from subsim! Obviously they took priority over work emails!

Sure, there are certain risk groups to avoid,
the need for email accounts,but gmail and netscape have a higher level of security, as Hotmail or Yahoo, etc.
