> [@xash](#): > > The fun part is that each new gmail account gets 3 further invites to send out. Or atleast that’s what happened with my gmail account. So we should be able to fill everyone here. In theory. Really? That’s rather unfair. Google has apparently decided that I am unworthy of mailing out invites because I haven’t been bestowed with any. ::feels very left out:: ---

Google recently (last Friday I believe) gave out the last set of “3 invites for new accounts.” They did it daily for about a week and stopped. However, top tier accounts still get 5 new invites a day. I get 5 invites a day at [remisser@gmail.com](mailto:remisser@gmail.com), but nobody I invited Monday or Tuesday for example, have gotten any invites. ---

And **siberia** sent me one too! :smack: You can give that one away to someone else, thanks anyway. All my mail gets lost among all the other junk I get. ---

Well, if anyone here is still getting gmail invites, I’ll take one. Either mail it to [theygoboom13@msn.com](mailto:theygoboom13@msn.com) or [im\_moocow@yahoo.com](mailto:im_moocow@yahoo.com) No, I’m not worried about spam to either of those… I get so much anyway that it doesn’t matter. ---

Awww. I’ve been using Blogger for ages and just cos I haven’t been well recently I’ve somehow missed the gmail stuff. Tchoh. Tchoh. I say! ---

Take me off the waiting list (assuming anyone had one with my name on it). I broke down and bought an account on Ebay (I can’t monitor the boards at home until I get my laptop back, and I have to, you know, _work_ when I’m at work. So I’m set. ---

Don’t worry about it. You should pass that extra invite along to someone. There isn’t any way for me to rescind the invitation. I have a few more invites to give. I’m going back to the “email me at [siberia@gmail.com](mailto:siberia@gmail.com)” system. It’s to hard the other way. 🙂 ---

But you didn’t send me one? I was quite sure you only sent me an email asking me if I wanted one, not an actual invitation… I hope you didn’t send me an actual invite, because I had to empty my junk mail :smack: And it’s gone. ---

I have no idea how this works. My problem is I’m leaving soon for Philly and won’t be back until Tuesday. If it is possible to send an invitation that I could use when I get back, I’d really appreciate it. My email is [kniz@bellsouth.net](mailto:kniz@bellsouth.net). ---

If someone has a spare invite, I’m still waiting for one and I’d be really really thankful to receive one!!
