[DEFINITIVE] Gmail queue !

[Eisbaer]

I have to be honest now, all the hype has gotten me so curious. I'd like an invite too, if anyone has one left over :)

funny how we went from a seemingly endless amount of people wanting invites to people having extra invites laying around haha.

read first post.

read first post.

The first post really doesn't apply now ;) It takes longer to maintain the list than it does for people to invite those who post on this thread; so, I think we'll revert to the previous system for the time being: post on here if you want an invite, and one of the many people with invites will give you one. We should decide on an official system soon, though, as people are getting invites to hand out faster than people are applying for them :D

ZTrang... sooo ok i've been using my gmail and where would i see this "invite friends" thing ?

No clue; I still haven't gotten the opportunity to invite people, either; presumably it's in bold lettering near the "search options" line above you inbox, and hard to miss. I don't understand why Google is taking so long to get me my invites, when people are getting 10 per day now, it seems!

I have some gmail invites laying around, who wants one?

I'm Interested...

I think they should just post here for a request, and we can just simply add them to a list here if they don't get an invite from someone. Atleast that way we can keep track of those needing one, sort of.. :p

edit - Or just turn this to a post/receive with no tracking to give people a break, someone will scroll through handing them out lol

I have a brilliant idea! Now that we have more donors than receivers, why don't we scratch the invite queue, and instead make a "donor list," so that when people come upon this forum, they just PM someone on the list and ask to be invited. When those on the list run out of invites, they ask for their name to be taken off the list. It seems a logical system (but please, somebody else maintain this list; I'm tired of sorting through 15 PM's every time I come online :p ) What do people think about this idea? If you guys like it, we'll need to start pulling together a list of those with invites to donate.

Sounds better :)

Read my post above ^^; this way, when someone says "can I have an invite," the response is "PM someone on the donor list." What do you think of this idea? It seems logical now that we have more donors than recipients.

I want to try gmail please. Anyone has one?

We're currently undergoing a slight reorganizatio;);) If you monitor this forum and post again when someone says they have invites, or when we have a new system set up, you can get one. It might take a few hours, though. We're still considering our options.

Yeah, that works out.. donor list with a number of how many invites are left (opposite of the first post).. so like myie2_user (0) and whenever anyone gets more we just edit the list number.

i'd be interested if i needed it, but I'm happy with my email as it is :p

... surprised that there isnt a thread on the boards with peeps who actually DONT want a gmail account ..... :p :p :p :p

I like that; can we begin to set it up? I haven't been here for the last several hours, so it might be chaotic at first, but can we start to inform donors as they come, so that soon we can have a new system set up with a donor list? We'll also need to edit the first page, obviously, as we're going to undergo a rather radical alteration to the system. I also think we should take all requirements off, since we don't seem to have a shortage of donors.

Yeah, bring on the new system (i'll go a few pages picking names out who were donating by the list) lol

I also agree on the requirements, we can drop that now :)

Which moderator should we contact with the new requirements? Do you think I should PM Blaise or Cara in order to change the front page? Who do you think would respond more quickly?

Blaise edited it before when I asked him, so I'm sure he will help out again ;)

Okay, I'll ask Blaise.

[Ajapi]

The new system sounds good. Need help compiling a list of the people offering invites?

Definitely. I'm going to bed now; I've PM'ed Blaise, so he should update the front page soon. If you and whoever else is around could compile a donor list and inform people who stumble upon this thread about it, that would be great. Thanks everybody, and have a nice night (or day, as the case may be)!

Here is a quick list of those who gave out invites, and the number of invites left to give, please do not PM them if they have a 0 next to their name.

If you want your name on this list then please post here with the number of gmail invites you have left (yes it can be 0) so that new people can see who to pm to get an account.

If you pm the guys with a request for an invite then please inform them of this list, with a link to the post, this way they know to come here and update the number of invites left.
