well, i guess we'll see tomorrow if that's true or not. If newegg really pwns creative then they're really pwned.

Watch... I'll bet they only take off the most commonly returned items out of the 5K; they never said they were removing all Creative products, just certain ones... plus, Creative markets a crapload of other products under different names; they will pull based on items that have issues with Vista, rather than over the whole sentiment of right/wrong

Who thinks my email address is "admin@isthisfake.com"?

Requests for new emails taken!

LOL

But if there was a admin@isthisfake.com, he would recieve a confirmation email; hence, if the newegg one was fake, there will be some "official" response and probably investigation....

That is different... there is no thisthreadsucks@newegg.com, but there is most likely a webmaster@newegg.com who will respond when he gets the confirmation email for changing the email addy

You cannot however, receive emails intended for that particular email. In this case, the authentication email was sent to, and obviously delivered to webmaster@newegg.com.

Yes - and as my edit states, who will be watching the Newegg webmaster address at around 7pm on a Sunday evening?
