Did you get e-mail from ThrillNetwork?

I sure as hell got one. I rarely post, they must've combed through quite a bit of posts, or somehow found a member email database.

I got one too... I don't think I've been to the site before, and if I had, it was CERTAINLY prior to me obtaining my own website & email address, so...

I don't know if you want numbers or anything. I guess we've already determined that it was not something we signed up for.

Me, too. Although mine said that Top Thrill Dragster could possibly close for the season and there's something I can do about my penis size.

You are the 4th person to file a complaint (ever)..This is your first complaint. This is the first spam/complaint incidence that we have receivedin regards to this customer. We need a copy of the spam message with all of the headers included,so that we can keep a record of this complaint. I'd also suggest contacting thrillnetwork to be removed from any futuremailings. They have told us that their removal system is completely functional. We have contacted them and have learned that the list compiled wasa list of everything they had from the past few years, and was not filteredproperly in error.. They have alerted us that this will not happen again, andthat it has been a mistake.

A response to my last email on page 2:

You were the 1st person to file a complaint (ever) out of 4 complaints
today..

What a pathetic hosting company.

Another thing I find interesting, I didn't get it right away. I actually got it seconds after I posted in the "Two Face Broked" thread. The time I posted was in that thread was: 5:36:02 PM. Seconds afterward, I recieved the newsletter. Interesting, huh?

Add me to the list. I certainly didn't sign up, and strongly hate unwanted email....

It was the first email I got after the Cbuzz newsletter...any chance he sent it to everyone on the cbuzz letter somehow? Seems easier then checking everyone's profile.

I recently switched addresses to escape spam. I've only used the address on this site. The switch was a real pain. The way this guy/these guys went about gathering the e-mail addresses was really slimy. Since they/he/she is a part of the coaster community, and most likely is following this thread, it is important that he/she/they understand how disgusted we are...

Woohoo! I was complain #3 to Escape. They asked me to forward the newsletter to abuse@escape.com

So I urge anyone else who is irritated by this to take 2 minutes and fire off an email to the address above the original newsletter attached. I think TN needs to learn that what they did was not only wrong...but also a violation of their TOS.

I'm under the impression that the response is automated and judging from the wording, the provider is a bit shady. I'd imagine that they care about as musch as the folks who set up the site.
