Hm,

Recent change to disallow Gmail etc addresses has made it impossible to use AGF via the computer, but Tapatalk access seems to work fine. I guess, this is also a test of that.

I don't know why Gmail etc are banned...I mean, who uses anything but Gmail, Icloud etc these days as they come with your phone and include everything from your photos to passwords and everything.

I've used Gmail for 20 years exactly now, and so does every single person I know. The last time we had to pay for an email address must have been before 2010 or so. I'm never going to start using a new email address and specifically pay for it, never.

I already pay ~100€ a month for fiber connection and web services, ~20€ a month for Google services such as Gmail and cloud spaces, not to mention another ~100 for cell phone unlimited data for the family...I'm not going to go and start paying for some small company to forward my emails to a new address just to access AGF. Just not going to happen.

Of course I have the company email for work, but I will not and don't think I'm even allowed to use it for personal needs.

Also, there are many places where only known email providers are allowed, only Gmail icloud outlook mail are possible, no some random fg.ie.com whatevevers at all. If I get mail from an email that has an unrecognizable, non-word ending like that, it goes to spam folder automatically.

It's just really weird not to accept Gmail addresses. It's just fine for my banking, government stuff, has zero spam unlike my work address which is a quagmire of spam...and it's not allowed???

Why not just have email verification and captcha etc if worried about free accounts being used for spam?
