I rarely register late because I consider it a significant disadvantage. However; for the same reason I quite enjoy 1hr of late-reg. I have no problem with people paying a full buyin to enter the game with 15-20bb !
Inflates the prizepool and adds a bunch of short stacks who have very limited options.
IMHO - anyone who is complaining about people registering late is probably just not very good, because it's a good thing to have these people inflate your prizepool with baby stacks.
Although I completely understand T3ddyKGB's point - if you want a short game with a small amount of runners, it can be frustrating.

Depending on the time which blinds change but ... normally i used to get in after the first change of blinds. And ... I don't mind people enter in the late registration at all. Sometimes late registration is too long that players when enter should shove at first!

i don't mind late regs as has been said,big disadvantage for them with their small stacks,i think re buys are a pain in the arse though,its the same for increasing the prize pool but there's so many GUNG HO players that you cant play normal until the re buys over.....
I think late registration is indeed a very good thing as in live it is VERY important as sometimes you can arrive late because of X reason so it can also happen for online poker too but I do agree that we should have a limit duration for it... I voted 30 mins here but I think for bigger games it should be more indeed...
