Great; good timing... right after the quarter started so I'm away for many weeks before getting the news.
On the issue of compromised email addresses: Sneakemail (http://snkmail.com), which used to be completely free, offers free disposable email addresses. You can create one for every business you deal with, and thus dump any address once it becomes spammed or otherwise compromised (as in this hack case). They still offer a free one-month trial, but it's two bucks a month after that. Worth checking out, if only for anti-spam reasons.
Not meant as an ad, btw. Still, I've been using them for ages now, and my address for NMA is from there. Time to kill the old address, insert the new...

We usually block free email ads when we spot them though. We're not a spam site so the majority of people who use disposable emails are spambots and Prosper re-registers.

you'd imagine a place that wants you to use your regular e-mail to be more secure, wouldn't you?
I for one used my work mail, for reasons unknown. might be that I couldn't sign up with my hotmail, I can't remember. but I managed to change it now either way.

Yip. But is it that hard to understand where we're coming from? Stuck between a rock and a hard place, wanting to minimize spambots and Prosper re-regs yet also wanting to to make it easier on the users. Just saying, you'll find a lot of free emails blocked and we do it for a reason.
Hotmail, Gmail and its ilk are unblocked now, though.
