So I never went to neoGAF, so I downloaded there podcast and liked it now I want to register to there forums.

It won't let me register.  It tells me to get a free email like a Gmail...

I use a gmail account, so is this just a bug or WTF?

Also they won't accept emails so how am I supposed to fix this.

I here neoGAF is the place to go for industry info, so yeah somebody want to help me.

Call your ISP and ask them for the email address that you signed up with.

As far as I know, It is the opposite of what you think it is. If you read part of their forum rules, when you try to register, part B says:

Registration using a free email account (such as hotmail) is prohibited. Use the email provided by your ISP, College, or other such establishments.

I tried once with gmail, like yourself. That won't do. Also, registration, from what I remember, might take a long time to be accepted (weeks or months).

(Why is this currently in the bug reporting forum? ^_^)

why are there so many people on GAF if it is this hard.

Why months?
