Bloody hotmail, if any1 here has hotmail is it just me or does hotmail accounts attract more spam? i check my email today and get this shit with an actually count down timer, first instinct was omg.. click click.. for a second i actually fell for it blush.gif but man they are taking this shit way too far...

i get around 7 emails a day at hotmail 100% of them are spam, i dont get any legit emails since i rarely use the account... and believe it or not this is with the enhanced junk mail filter enabled as well wacko.gif

I only use my hotmail account rarely. But it attracts a lot of spam. my old dialup email account received a lot too. I now keep my email address closely guarded:) Don't sign up for anything unless Im sure. Bloody spam

just have to remove the actual address, for example if i have the address odin@blah.com when this page gets crawled by a email grabber or whateva they are called it will recognise and store the email address in a database and the owner will sell it off or use it for their own marketing purposes..

i've just removed the email address from the site altogether, instead when you click "send email" it will just go to a form and prompt subject, msg and send it directly from this server... u have to be logged in tho...
