I was wandering around Yahoo and found a link to the Majestic front page. Now, thinking back it had been a long time since I've looked at anything having to do with the "game". So I clicked on it, imagine my surprise when there was a message for us beta testers that our mailing list has finally been removed and that we were "saved" from getting the virus they sent us by them replacing it with a harmless attachment. Whatever. The list should have been deleted forever ago and we shouldn't have recieved anything more from them.

This is copied from them.

Earlier this week an internal client system at Electronic Arts became infected with the "Hi" email virus. As a result, the virus sent emails from the client machine to every distribution list that existed on the infected machine, including the majongoingclosedbeta@ea.com list. The Electronic Arts email servers did their job and successfully removed the virus and replaced it with a harmless "alert.txt" attachment message. If you were a member of the majongoingclosedbeta@ea.com list, you probably received the "Hi" email message, but you did not receive the virus itself.

We regret any confusion that the email virus caused and have deleted the distribution list to avoid any further confusion.

They seem to be the only ones confused, we already know that they can't figure out how to run a good game, except into the ground.
