I just got into my new account.


I don't get it. I wonder what they are doing to keep some users out?

HA i bet you will never see them post again ;-)

While that may be true, if you scroll up, you'll see that every "Member" or "Senior Member" is online right now.

The next two people to quote this post get them.

Score.
you still haven't used the invite I gave you earlier today... edit: err, yesterday.

simms just in it for the heck of it, he's got lots of invites already, right? :)

Yup. Just like playing these games. 33, I was planning to give it away today, if that was ok with you. :)

yeah, think of some fun games or whatever. i thought my gmail-haiku one was good but that was very late at night so there were not that many participants.

How are people getting invites to send out for others for gmail?

Do they send one a day to your gmail account or is it completely random?

it's random, i read that the email should be first used actively to get invites ... that being said:

"people, use your gmail and invite me!!!" :D

As long as I have been without my account I'd better have some invites when it comes back.

I've been using mine quite a bit too.
