there was no queue for this item. it was just a more information signup.  this isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your departure

they did have a sign up for it, and I never received any info, still to this day
 
since you feel obligated to white knight them, I feel obligated to remind you this is a discussuion forum about the motherboards in question
 
surely a discussion about how their current marketing scheme is being received by potential customers is relevant and on topic
 
 

i didn't receive any info either, and i signed up too. you could have known this by checking My Notifies after "signing up" for what we all signed up for (more information on product availability)
 
i don't feel obligated to white knight anything, but i do follow their product launches when they have something i want to buy because that's what a reasonable consumer does. when you come back to buy the board later this month or next month, i hope you enjoy it :)

I signed up for that notification and immediately went to My Notifies and it wasn't there.
Then I knew it was only for more info about the launch.
It was clearly not the old queue system, which I think they abolished anyway.
 
But then they never sent any info out.

I watched the stream for 1.5 hours and honestly got tired of watching manz play Fortnite. So I went to eat dinner and then they must’ve gone on sale, sold out by the time I got back :( betrayed by my stomach.

I would wager though, that the people who bought them were other forum users also on the notify list waiting for the link. Probably not randoms who happened to be watching the stream

I got one, I was watching the stream after the other post saying they were going to release a limited number of them during it.  
 
I haven't seen anyone else mention it but Jacob said the full release (this was just an early limited number of them) will be at the end of December or the beginning of January.  I'd have to check the stream again but I believe he said the Classified would be around then too.

I just happened to see the Dark Kingpin available that evening and could have made the purchase but I wanted to read the manuals and I'm leaning toward the classified anyway.

I salute the community, I promise to contribute to helping our forum as much as I can.
 
I'm looking to buy the EVGA z790 classified eatx motherboards: Does it fit a 2.5 GPU pcie slot thickness without blocking the second pcie slot? I got the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, and the motherboard's manual doesn't tell us too much about...

I couldn't wait any longer and ordered an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero to house my 13900k.

This Jacob. I know you guys have enough on your plates, but we are out here trying to highlight what is great about EVGA, but no one from product management is here.

Lmfao, just bought the z790 apex. My first non Dark board since z390.
