Hi Christine,
What do you mean by "Automated open subscription will be closed"? How
does it affect the current XSI list subscribers?
Thanks,
François

Hello everyone,
On March 24th we will be launching a new product - the XSI EXP for
Half-Life 2 - a free EXP variant designed to allow Half-Life players and
enthusiasts to modify props, models, and characters for the Half-Life 2
game non-commercially.
There's a lot of interest and we anticipate rapid growth in the user
community associated with this product, and are expecting over 250,000
downloads in the first few weeks. As a result, we've decided to take
some measures to ensure that the services we offer to the commercial
(paid) user community are affected as little as possible.
To that end, beginning this Wednesday and for the immediate future, the
mailing list subscription procedure for all principle mailing lists will
change. Automated open subscription will be closed, and in order to have
a new email account subscribed or unsubscribed, it will now be necessary
to have an existing list member post a request to the list. Simply post
a message to the list with the phrase 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe so and so'
in the subject line of the email and we will follow-up.
Lists affected include: xsi@(protected), 3d@(protected),
3dgames@(protected), and discussion@(protected)
This change is preventative, and is intended to ensure that we can
continue to offer a high quality of service and preserve the existing
community of XSI users. We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope
that this change has minimal impact on you all.
Thanks,
Christine
