It can't be that difficult to link up. (He says knowing five eigths of feck all about programming) The mods have that as their emails. Or at least their addresses don't show up when you reply on email.

True, but look at the number of members, the number of potential email addresses (and associated support), the amount of bandwidth required, storage space etc..

It's not a small task..

What's the point though? Plenty of other good free email services.

I'm not sure what cache it gives you - and I'm not sure HM would want non-official comms from their official domain.

I think it would be odd posting to mybrainhurts@pistonheads.com.


Plus if you use your real name it will be as annoying as hotmail with lack of unique naming.

Thanks

While it's a fun idea, it would be far too much work to look after so it's not going to happen. Sorry.
