newsletter / beta participation

Quick entry:

I set up a newsletter on redthumbgames.com a while ago but did it quick and dirty using a free external newsletter service that had ad pop-ups etc (though rest assured no spam or sharing).

I am now using my own code on my own site to take and store email addresses (finally).

So, if you were hesitant before due to the external site use, drop on over to redthumbgames.com and sign up for the newsletter now.

The big draw is that you'll get the chance to be the first to play Sploidz and Shelled before they're open beta'd and released. THIS WILL BE IN THE COMING MONTH.

I don't see too many subscribers yet, so hopefully this tech change will beef things up.

If you are interested in playing/testing, just sign up!

Cheers, Josh

Hey Josh!

I've been trying to sign up for your newsletter and it links to a nice little 404 not found page.
I'm psyched about Shelled and all...and I'd like to receive the newsletter :)

@simon - I tested it on both win and mac and it's working, plus there's a bunch of new names since the posting, I emailed you for details if you're still having trouble.

@anders - even if you can't beta, you can still sign up for the newsletter so you know when they're out. course if you check GG you'll know too.

BTW, if anyone signed up before you don't have to again, I imported existing addresses.
