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

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

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. :D

:P

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.

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

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? :P

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. :D 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.

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 :P

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. :P

The network overhead would be monstrous™* though.

:lol:

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)
