[DEFINITIVE] Gmail queue !

[rsktkr]

I know we are suppose to IM people for invites now but I've tried that several times and got no's because I don't have enough post or what have you. I really am looking for an invite so I can offer my invites to http://gmailforthetroops.com/ This is a site that is doing their part to help the troops overseas stay in touch with their loved ones. Imagine being able to help soldiers look at pictures of their babies they may have never seen! Everyday I think about all the soldiers over there and want to help. I've done a little but I want to do more. Could someone send me an invite and I will post my invites for the troops. This really means a lot to me.

Thanks for your time...rsktkr

The requirements have changed. Now, all you have to do is PM somebody on the inviter list who has invites, and you will get an invite to Gmail with no problems. Have you tried PM'ing somebody on the invite list (look for the latest version on the past two pages) with your full name and e-mail address?

Will the troops even be able to access the internet over there...? And if so wouldn't they prefer to use an email system that isn't in its beta stages...

They have almost daily internet access, yes. And why would they be less inclined to use Gmail than any other adult who wants the system? It's not like they're using Gmail to send sensitive intelligence data or orders, or something like that. They might want Gmail rather than Hotmail or whatever they're using. However, you don't need to beg using the troops as a lever to get an account here; just PM somebody on the inviter list, and you will get an account.

^^ i agree.. if someone is a nice looking gal, pm me for instant invite :)

[ZTrang]

There is an inviter list on the previous page; copy that list and add your name and the number of invites you have to that list, and wait for people to PM you (and don't worry, they will ;) ); that's all you have to do.

[Jamiemeister]

... And why would they be less inclined to use Gmail than any other adult who wants the system? ...

Well I just mean the google email system isn't exactly 100% stable, which is why it is still in its beta testing stage. Why would the troops want to use an expermental system to communicate with their familys, loved ones etc. Why not just use their .mil accounts or any other stable system.

Thanks for the slam. I don't beg or cheat for anything or anybody! That was not cool. I want to help. Maybe you would stoop to that level but not me! :angry:

It was a joke, as you WERE using an intent to give the invites to the troops as an incentive for people to give you invites. I'm sorry if you thought I went too far by accusing you of begging, but it wasn't serious. However, I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to have good intentions with your Gmail invites, just that you don't need to have any specific intentions with the invites, other than that you'll donate some back to Neowin, in order to get an account. I'm sorry that you were offended by my post, but it was completely light-hearted. If you simply PM one of the people on the invite list, you'll get one in short order.

True, but maybe their military accounts don't offer 1 GB of space (as if anybody needs that anyway). You have a valid point, but maybe they just want to try it out, like anybody else. I doubt those in the military who use the internet a lot have a problem getting Gmail accounts, though, so I'm not sure I would donate my invites to that cause (is donating Gmail invites to the troops really a "cause," anyway?).

Yes, this very true. I'm pretty sure the troops must have bigger problems to worry about than getting a GMail account.

By the way, "beg" is not necessary a bad thing; here's a definition (I hope that Microsoft doesn't sue me for doing this ;) ):

beg

beg [beg]

v

1. vti ask with emotion: to ask somebody for something in a very intense, humble, or even humiliating way

Microsoft? Encarta? Reference Library 2003. ? 1993-2002 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

So if you were passionately asking (as you were) you could classify that as begging. I didn't mean it in a degrading way, however, and I'm very sorry if you took it that way. I was just trying to make the point that you don't need to ask for an invite in any way; you can get one just by PM'ing someone on the inviter list. I also never accused you of cheating at all, which is a much different thing than begging.

Sorry I got red-assed but it sounded bad.

This may not be a "cause" but it sure couldn't hurt.

i thought everyone got a gmail cuz there was no queue. but i went out and came home with 18 pm. i dont have that much invites. i will go by order. if i get more i will still see who pm me earlier

You can edit the list, just copy it and add your name to the to top to say you have no more invites to give, should free up your pm's :p

The "queue" will now appear in your PM box ;) Yes, just send invites to the first three, turn the rest away, and update the list. That will stop people from PM'ing you and keep the list updated. Oh also, if you already have a Gmail account, people, please don't ask for another one. I've caught a few people (I won't name anybody) asking for invites when I know that they have received one already. This thread is run around the honor system, and I hope that everybody will uphold that so that we can get Gmail invites to everybody who wants one.

[rsktkr]

Kyro,

Thank you!

I will give you props when I post my invites on http://gmailforthetroops.com/

All the best. :D
