Well, I recommend X10 to a good friend of mine today. He went to register; apparently now you guys require a phone number and home address to register? Why is that? I can't imagine you need to know someone's personal stuff like that to host them.

Well, I think I can anwser that. I think x10 has it like that, because, if somone were to host warez or copyrighted files, maybe x10 would be able to track them down if x10 were sued of something..... That is just what I think, wait for staff to tell you for sure, though.

edit: My post is kinda usefull now...

This happens alot, usually when the script is updated. We just have to remove those fields from the form. It should be fixed shortly :)

Tyler is correct. Everytime the system is updated it puts the default fields back in. When I get a chance I will remove them.
