Yessir. Just for a short period of time. Again, this is meant as a preventive
measure, to ensure the integrity of the list during a period of time where
there could be literally thousands of users requesting to be added to this
forum.
In a short period of time, we will re-enable the automatic subscription process
and all of our new friends from the HL2 EXP community who will be interested in
participating in this forum will be able to do so. But for the first couple of
weeks, we want to encourage them to use the EXP for HL2 community forum, which
is set up to address their specific needs.

.com saying "please subsribe my friend's email"?

Yes there will be a forum they can use to correspond on EXP for HL2 issues.

not at all if I undestood her correctly.
It's just for new subscribers.. they will have to have an existing member
subscribe them.
This prevents 200000000 halflife-exp geeks to subscribe...
yeah - this is not a game, is it? ;)

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)
.com, 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
