After you vote, if you click discuss. It props for you to create an account.

The email address text field, only allows 25 characters. But MY email address is 26 characters. So what do I do, start a new email address?

This is an example of BAD programming, whether it's web-based or not. You have to think, "Do all email addresses stop after 25 characters?"

The answer is, No.

It's a nice concept the whole, choose the actors that portray Mary Jane or Black Cat. Vote for the box art of the game.

But really, the email address thing is just terrible. I had to post my frustrations. How can anyone be that dumb?

Did common sense skip a generation or something?

Uh, Cry some more? its just a vote for two really dumb looking boxart ideas.
Just make a hotmail accout.

I'm not crying, I'm complaining that some idiot programmer didn't think, "Maybe I shouldn't put a limit on email address characters"

Besides, you don't need to login in order to vote.

If you want to be on the forums, then yes. But what's the point of that?
