Hey Guys,

Alot of you will be receiving an email asking you to re-confirm your email. This is not spam nor is it a scam. Our current mail servers can not handle all the users so we are using a newsletter distribution service that will not bog down our servers. Last week if any of you realized the problems we were having it was because our servers were working overtime trying to get everything out for the newsletter. This will also help us weed out accounts that were setup with the sole intention for spam, the accounts that are not reconfirmed will be removed from the forum and be able to be released to new members.

The people that will be providing our newsletters will be coming from aweber.com they are the leading email company on the internet with 1 thing in mind. Privacy, they are used by all fortune 500 companies.

If you have any other questions let me know.

It may say you have already confirmed, this is perfectly fine and normal with the program. The reason it is saying this is because your usergroup still is the same as before.

I have no idea of the deatails i used for the email account i registered with. I also dont read any newsletters and such as a result. Is this only relevant if we wish to receive the newsletter? So basically are you about toi close my account because i can't, plus have no need, to have my email on a newsletter list?

I only have one other email, and there's no way in hell i'm linking that to this site. And i'm not going to go through hoops and create another faux email account just to receive newsletters i have no wish to receive. Sorry. Guess my account'll be deleted.

ok so this has me all paranoid so i figured out what email i put down and checked it. after wading through a year of spam i did find some emails from newsletter@rollitup, but nothing from admin and none of the newsletters says anything about confirming an email. am i to assume that if i did not recieve this email then my account is fine, or should i assume that it will be deleted because there is no way for me to reply to a message i never got? the first post says "a lot of you" will be getting the letter...what about everyone else? are we special or just left out?

Is this really legit?

The whole email looks dodgy, after I clicked on it I though "fuck I shouldn't have done that, what if it's some kind of phishing attempt". Calgary isn't even spelled right at the bottom.

What exactly does this mean: "Those unconfirmed accounts will be removed from the list and the username will be released to the public"

Released to the public? WTF? Those are not words to use on a site like this. :) I don't want anything I do here "released to the public".

Is this an attempt to get us to opt into some kind of spam list or...?

If it is legit, whoever sent it sure didn't think it through before hand or take any care with the wording.

Not anger, jsut confusion as to why it is necessary else lose youra ccount. I have no desire to receive a newsletter, and have no desire to register an email afiliated with a highly illegal hobby elsewhere.

It would make more sense to have people opt into a newslwtter, like any other website, than ahve it mandatory that all and every user recieves it, in turn cloggin up the server.
