It's good that Thresh let everyone know as quickly as he did though. There was a notice about this on the client and website in no time. Always did have a lot of time for Dennis, ever since he beat won Carmacks 328GTS at the 1997 Red Annihilation tournament.

I don't use the client and never visit the site. Where's the email warning me of this? Nowhere.
