Here is my opinion on NeoGAF, since they do not accept registration from email addresses from Google, Yahoo and the like then they should not be found on the search engines that they blacklist themselves.
 
Well, NeoGAF is still a decent place for gaming information. But I agree that it's a pain to actually become a member in that site.
 
"Oh no, some small gaming site doesn't allow GMail, I mean we have about 400 million regular users but NOOOOOO this one small site doesn't allow GMail! What should we do?"
"Well we should totally blacklist the site, of course!"
Nobody at Google (or any other email provider for that matter)

So this is a reason to confine them to the dark web?

You do realize that posting them up on one of the largest gaming sites in the world just gave them an incredible amount of exposure, right?

NeoGAF is the largest gaming forum. Somehow I don't think they need any exposure.

I'll tell you something interesting: Mailinator.

I doubt Mailinator will work. Since the e-mail registrations are approved on a case-by-case basis, they've probably blocked Mailinator addresses ever since the first time someone tried to sign up with one.

GAF Terms of Service
B. Registration must be performed with an Internet Service Provider, education, or workplace email address. No other types of email addresses will be accepted, including all free email addresses (@gmail), addresses tied to personal domains (@myrandomblog), addresses part of standalone paid accounts (@me), or any of a limited number of domains that have been blacklisted for abuse despite otherwise falling within the bounds of ISP/education/workplace (@aol). The approval process is manual and subject to a significant waiting period.
 
I tried to sign up for a Matchbox forum a couple years ago that ended up having the same policy. They weren't worth the trouble and I didn't waste my time.

Pretty much this. If your stupid forum makes me jump through multiple hoops to access content, fugeddaboutit. I've got better things to do with my time and better places to hang out.
