If G-Mail is being a total asshat (a la AJ), why do we want invites? Just becuase?

Why the heck do I want a G-mail account when Yahoo is working quite well already?

Why the heck would you post such in a thread offering slots?

My Hotmail account pretty much sucks, so if either of you want to give me an invite, that would be tres fabbo so I could try it out. It's got more storage than Hotmail and I don't have a backup account anymore since my alma mater discovered that I graduated a few years ago (durrrrr) and took away my uni email. I don't need it, but an extra account would be cool.

No, no, Zaiakins, you see, the only problem with G-mail is that it doesn't give you invites for many weeks, and then suddenly, BAM, it gives you 5 or 6.

It used to spread them out evenly over time, but something broke. *shrugs*

How odd. To whom does it send invites anyway? Random people who use lots of net stuff? People who signed up for it?

If you regularly use G-mail, you get an invite for every 4 (I think, its close) e-mails you get.

What are these invites and why are they so important for gmail?

If you have been sent one of these invites, you may open a G-Mail account with it.

The gist of it is, people lucky enough to have accounts for "beta testing" are allowed no more than six invites to share to six lucky people. You can only join by invitation, so people sending out invites would allow more people to join and get a gmail account.

Speaking of which, I have three available to share here. PM me with your name and e-mail address and I'll hook you up.

edit:
JediNeophyte, Straha have access (or will when google fixes the login prompt).

One more left! Better hurry!

Gmail is better? I think the interface is much better than any other webmail service I've tried so far, and there's the space.

I got three to spare as well, PM with name(real name not required, nick or something will do fine really) and e-mail address.

Terr Fangbite · Post by **Terr Fangbite** » 2004-08-30 05:13am

How do I PM something, I'm interested in trying this.

There is a button under my post that says "PM" just click it and it'll send a private message to me.

Um... maybe because the interface is substantially faster, and the mail searching options?

Just spent the last couple of hours changing all the accounts on various websites to my gmail address though- then again I have dialup.

I got 4 invites, after 5 minutes of using Gmail... who wants some.

I understand your e-mail just fine. Do what you do best and spam my Gmail account at renegade.paladin(at)gmail.com for a bit so I can get some invites and then I'll give you one. And then you owe me.

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2004-08-30 03:16pm

Rogue, give me his email on MSN, i'll give it, I need a cult.

No, I need a cult. Or a bigger one, as it is. Which is why I'm handing out 6 lushous, lovely, adorable, sexy, handy-dandy invites to 6 lucky folks, limited time offer! No money down, you pay nothing until 2007! That's right, we even pay your sales tax!

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2004-08-30 04:02pm

Shut up, I don't need money, and you don't have a cult...you have a USERGROUP.

As your grunt, I request another Gmail account, for kicks.

I am still distributing 4 invites.1
