It depends on the nature of your forum and userbase. Mine is a community oriented High School Sports site and the reason I did it was to make people somewhat accountable for their posts because I have to answer to school administrators, parents, coaches, etc... and they all know me by name and face. Everyone has access to a non-free email account and most people choose to signup with their free account to keep their anonymity. If you were to implement this as I have, the account signups do not really drop off, they just signup with their local email address and that's it. I have only heard a few complaints and I usually work with them to get them signed up!

That's a good point. I did make it clear in my announcement about disallowing them that I was doing it for the benefit of the community, and not to step on anyone's toes at all.

I guess we'll see what the feedback is.

I don't allow free email accounts on my site, not worth the headaches.

Same here, Smoothie.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
