You get the privilege of being spammed.

It's called taking the initiative to go to a website. Not that hard, and to make it even worse, I scored one :)

They mentioned it in their emails on the 24th, 27th, 28th and 29th.

What an Idiotic statement. Try thinking next time. Not that hard.

'It's called' having better things to do than check in on a site 24/7 in case something happens to happen.

The reason they created a mailing list is to notify people of drops.

I must've dropped off the list then, thanks for the info.

1xRun does send out emails when a run is released/started. As mentioned above, then mentioned the release in various emails. They did mention it was to be at random as well. FWIW.

I get an email from them almost everyday. Sometimes it's overload.

I was fine with the amount of emails they typically sent out. They didnt get routed to junk mail either. I was definitely dropped off the list entirely somehow. I'll sign up again.

The Michael Page I got from them last fall was really nice.

Check your spam. With the frequency of emails, they often fall in there. I think mine did at some point in time.

Yeah just checked, but no. I'm off it entirely. I'll sign back up, no biggie.

Might use the 20% on the Dan Mountford one that dropped two days ago...

Checked the site once last week, and it was listed. Little less than 24/7. I guess you expect to have Olly email you his drop links before hand too?

1xrRun should have made it a timed release...

Try to follow along: they created a mailing list to notify people of drops. So, therefore, being on that list, one should expect to be notified of a drop. In this case, apparently they did just that, and the problem was specific to me and easily rectified.

And yeah, now that you mention it, Olly should email me his drop links before hand.

Looking forward to this release:

The hand-embellished version, that is. Her originals are pretty expensive.
