[Ephemeral]

damn :(

[bolix]

Thanks to Chicane-UK, I'm very glad, as soon as I get the invites, I'll donate them here

[JaredVolkl]

Got my account today! How long before I get invites?

Edit: Just read about invites. It sounds like they just give them when they have space for more users.

damn im already 3rd on the list. im so happy :) this is the best thread any forum in the entire world has

[Tiftof]

a few days. 2-3 I heard, I have yet to get mine.

Maybe a short faq schould be added to the list so people don't have to aske the same questions again :) Not everybody will read them ofcourse. But it might help though

It doesn't matter; it's a significant portion of the traffic on this thread, anyway ;) yes, I believe it can take up to a week, actually. I've had my account for almost 3 days, and I'm still waiting. Just be patient.

Hey, you're almost up for a Gmail invite; what are you doing trying to get one using that site :p Actually, I've been trying, too; I haven't gotten close, though; 30000 different possible numbers and a five-second refresh time means that it will take a LONG time to get 1337, on average.

how do you know where you are in the queue?

I know Im almost there, but still....If I can get Gmail a couple hours early by refreshing a lot, isn't it worth it? :woot:

Not if you spend those couple of hours refreshing your Internet browser ;) You'll probably get an invitation within an hour or two; as soon as another person comes with even three invites, you'll get one. Go on, do something more productive than refreshing your internet browser!

[Ajapi]

LOL, yea I could probably find something better to do. BTW, when I get my Gmail, will I be able to invite others right away?

No; you'll have to wait anywhere between 3 hours and a week (these are extremes) to get your invites. Most likely you will receive them within a day or two.

OK finally got one account to no invites, maybe it will give me more there..

Jason still hasn't responded to an e-mail and a pm so I sent another pm.. wonder if he is on vacation or something lol

[ZTrang]

Why do I still not have any invites? I've had my account since mid-day on Tuesday, I believe, and nothing. Should I be sending a lot of e-mails from that account to speed the process? I'v heard some rumors that this helps in getting invites, but it makes no sense. I've only sent about three, as I have nobody to talk to during the summer via e-mail. Why, oh why, am I not getting invites? Am I just being too impatient?

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Random I guess.

Maybe it gauges if your invitee's are using the email accounts heavily or not, and offers you invites accordingly?

Thats dEs0lAt0r sorted now also btw, and just trying to help out illz55 with a little confusion :)

[dEs0lAt0r]

Thanks for the invite Chicane-UK!

Not sure, I got mine the next day, and since then everyday.. sometimes twice a day.

I just got my invite...thanks to threetoneson!!!

How much did you use the account? I'm wondering whether usage determines how soon you get invites to give to other people. By the way, my theory as to how often Google gives out invites is that Google is simply stress-testing their servers, and so when they feel confident that they can sustain a certain number of accounts, they give out a few more invites to increase server load, and so on. So, because I have little to no impact on server load, is it possible that they are overlooking me when giving out invites?

Before I got the invite for the first time I probably only sent 2 e-mails and received 1.. I don't think that would qualify as a lot of usage ;)

But try sending some out, and see if that helps.

Everyone is patiently awaiting, let the new gogglers get invite so they can invite the rest of the people on the list.

Also, aren't ads supposed to appear on the bottom of the e-mail? So far, none of the e-mails I've sent have had any ads, which is nice. Has Google temporarily pulled them because of criticism, or is it not using them because the beta testing is so limited right now?
