Oh, and not to mention the fact that they basically read all your emails.

I doubt they'll do anything like that. But it is a beta test, so no harm in being safe about it.

Gots meself 4 more invites. Now that I'm the king of this oligarchy, I felt obliged to let the suckas that don't have one know.

Send me a PM if you want one

I'll take 2. J/K One is good enough, I only use it for emergency anyway.

I wonder if I can use it to store my database backups, but we're talking nearly a Gig here so I doubt I can actually send such a big file through email.

I've been tempted to use my invites to create and extra account or two, to stake a cliam on an extra nick or 2, but I don't know what I'd do with them.

Haha same here, since I have like 6 invites pending. Trying to bribe people into joining UD but it does not work very well.

I just checked my gmail account. Apparently I now have 50 invites

up from 5 earlier today. Either this is a bug, or google is really ramping things up in preparation for the release.

I only have a paltry 4 invites

Hey, with 50 invites, you could have 50 gigs of 10 megabyte files

True, but I'd probably spend a good portion of my lif uploading.

I didn't know what I was going to do with 5, and now I got 10 times that...

Anyone want an invite or 10?

I have 6 left.

I should check my account more often, had an email from my hoster and the whole server merge thing got canceled. So glad, since I did not like that idea since this would of meant we'd be on a "real" hosting company, I rather the way it is where it's semi-private, since there's not as many sites on the server and there's more of a personal service to it.

And cheaper.

Oh, and I noticed gmail offers free pop service, I thought you had to pay for that!

Well, still beta, wouldn't be fair to charge for it while they're testing it.

We should have an AnythingForums raffle to see who wins 40 of Manadren's invites

Pop service is kinda spiffy. I thought about turning it on, but I'd use the web interface more often anyway. It's easier than actually having to open my email client

Hmmm if we all open up those accounts I can host AF on gmail, just need to get a mysql driver to communicate in SMTP with the server. the database tables would be seperate emails with raw data. So much room for expansion.

The network overhead would be monstrous* though.

maybe I should take the spammer route and start harvesting emails to send invites to

That's a good way to find people that already have email addresses they're happy with

You can threten them, "if you don't accept, you'll be sorry since this email will be getting lot of spam"

Then just let me know, and I can route all my spam there. (100's of emails per day)

So if you don't take this FREE invite for gmail, you'll wish you had 1 gig for all the goddamn spam I'm sending you!
