Some are different than others.

yea... due to timezone, the hours are different, but you can look up eastcoast... computer clocks are typically set to synchronize with the US Navy Base in DC, or microsoft time servers which are synchronized with the same navy base. In windows XP, this is set by default to the microsoft time servers.. in previous versions of windows, you have to enable it manually.

You never know if this web sites time is off or something is all I was trying to say. I was watching my pc's clock and assuming it was the same as that but I really wasn't sure.
 
Ahh! I want one too!

And I'm not a noob! I lost my previous account (eXtremist)... don't know which email I used. Member since 08/03/2002. Though I admit that I have a low count. I hope ya'll understand.
 
Man I also forgot my login info because I no longer own the email addy that I first signed up with. Anyways I'll give anyone who gives me an invite the link to my Brasil vacation pictures that include nice shots on the beach. PM me if you hae an inite and want to see some nice pictures of a beautiful country.
 
If someone could PM me an invite that'd be great. =) I don't wanna lurk, so as soon as I get invites I'll post too.
 
On a related note...

Invites to current Gmail accounts seem to have a relation to the amount of traffic the account gets.
Upon a week of experimentation:

1 - account on 4 different mailing lists got 3 invites.
2 - account on 1 mailing list got 1 invite.
3 - account with almost no activity got 1 invite.

I don't know if this is a hard and fast rule, but the more activity an account has, the more invites they tend to get.

This is a very preliminary thing, so if ne1 has more information to add, please PM me. Any more data on use/invite ratios would be much appreciated.

I've had an account for almost 2 weeks now and I haven't received a single invitation. I've sent and received about 100 messages and logged in every day.

My friend, who signed up a day after me only sent/received about 5 messages and has received an invite after 5 days from activation.

My other friend, who also signed up a day after me sent one message and logged in maybe 3 times... he received an invite after 5 days.

If invitations and usage are related, I haven't found a link yet.
