It should be up again. If you're using an email anonymization service it may still be blocking you. (I definitely respect folks who want to use email anonymization. This was a stopgap measure I hope we'll remove over the coming weeks.) I'll file a bug for this too.

Right now we block VM creation, as part of regaining stability during an unexpected HN crunch. We have a few other mitigation measures to put in place, and then we can hopefully restore this. (People will existing validated anonymous email addresses should be able to pick up from where they left off.)
