I think all invites are done, at least that's what I heard from a friend (Reliant). If not, I'd definitely be interested if anyone has an invite left.
 
Oh man what a luck!!! I have been looking for a gmail invite for almost two weeks, and it was just when somebody posted one I didnt look. I am sooooo maddd at myself. Can anybody out there PM me a gmail invite please. Thanks.
 
No, because then people will complain about what time they sent a PM and how they weren't chosen. This way at least we know it was fair and square that it was first come first serve.

wrong. by posting it in the forum, people who aren't even members of this forum can get it.

to me, it's a lot more fair to have people send me their name and address via PM and i will send them the invitation then. it doesn't have to be fair and square in terms of PM time. i can choose who i want to invite. or have people post quoting my post, and send invitation to the first three posts (for instance), now that's fair.

it's not necessary to call the inviter names just because he posted it in the forum. heck, he's got the invitation, he can do whatever he wants with it. i've done it both ways, posted it as a link (sometimes hidden inside something), or have people PM me after they quote my post.

True, non-members may get it, but at the same time, like you said, his invites, his way of passing them out. I don't care how they're passed out now, I just wanna get my hands on one before it's too late.

Too late? Uhm.... you know, someday, it is going public.
 
Yeah, because it's really going to stay like that. I'll be surprised if they're not charging within two years of it going public.
