Maybe I am misremembering, but I could've sworn the original announcement thread went up here at 1:05 EST on April 23. How could anybody have requested to get on the wait list before then?
Anyone on the waitlist for the AX8 were transferred over to the FM3 waitlist (because the AX8 was discontinued), with the original date they were put on the AX8 waitlist holding. So everyone on the AX8 waitlist have dates before anyone on the FM3 waitlist. Also, the time was 1:05 EDT (not EST - minor clarification ).
