It seems Hotmail doesn't like our automated emails for some reason, until we know why, we highly recommend that you use another email service when you create an account on the SpoCon site. If you absolutely must use Hotmail, please add webteam@spocon2009.com to your contact list. Sorry everyone, we're currently looking into it though! On a related note, we also know that Gmail puts the email confirmation in your Spam box, be sure to check there if you use Gmail.
