Gmail dispenser

It is in an experimental stage of development right now, there will probably be bugs. Seems to be working OK for now though. I've started it off with 5 invites, if you've got any, put them in!

I don't know if anyone else has made something like this yet, but I was bored and had some invites to get rid of. :)

Do something so that it only allows one per IP address and I'll start giving most of my invites

Thanks! This way I know some random guy isn't just grabbing all of mine I was really hoping people who wanted them would get it

Alright, IP restriction implemented. From the looks of my log, it looks like there were a few hoarders.

Just an idea, but how about a page with lists of people who have contributed gmail invites? Maybe a page for those who gave 5 or more?

Just gave 2...given three out so far after I mentioned a few. This way I don't have to bother with PMs anymore, they can just go there :)

looks like the ip restriction bit me in the ass. i was using konqueror in the CS lab here at school, got the invite okay and it redirected me to gmail. gmail errors out saying i need to be using IE or firefox. fire up firefox and try to obtain an invite and my ip has been blocked because i supposedly already recieved an invite based on ip. oh well...

Sounds like someone needs some reassurance and recognition.

It'd be great if you could get a list of which AT users are logged on right now and what their IPs are so you can have a field in the program where they have to give their nick, and have it match up with their current IP.

Ah well, good stuff nonetheless. :)

I tried to get an invite, it was expired. Tried to get a new one and said I was a hoser!

I've fixed most of the invite donation bugs.

To anyone who ended up with an expired or bad invite, PM me your IP and I'll let you get another one.
