beta testers by bazik on 02-11-2006 at 01:54 PM
hey all, well its saturday, so i'm thinking if i havent got the mail.. i'm not a selected beta tester.. or this 8.0.0562 changed something in patchou's plan?
what am saying is.. did anyone got the emails? cause i didnt saw anyone metioned it on the forums. and i just wanted to know if i can stop "waiting" for the mail.. or if there's still hope.
Best Regards..

I got the email. Yes Patchou sent the emails.
edit: Sorry. Better luck time. Hang around a bit
RE: beta testers by user27089 on 02-11-2006 at 01:56 PM
Everyone who was selected received their emails I'm afraid, so you haven't been picked. No point in waiting anymore.
RE: beta testers by bazik on 02-11-2006 at 01:58 PM
ok... thx for the info.. not that glad to know.. but hey thx anyway
RE: beta testers by GiantSpider on 02-11-2006 at 02:19 PM
If you stick around, help out & become a good member you could be in contention next time though.

Congrats To All Testers 
RE: beta testers by ipab on 02-11-2006 at 04:58 PM
congrats to all the testers who go in, and to everyone who didn't, there is always an opportunity. Think about it, this are only the first rounds.
RE: beta testers by J-Thread on 02-11-2006 at 05:20 PM
Just a question, think I can ask it here, but...has patchou chosen all the beta testers randomly or so?? I mean, I read somewhere here that somebody with only 3 forum posts was invited to join the beta, and I, a plugin developer that's hanging around here for quite a while and that's trying to be helpfull, am not invited...
Wouldn't it be a good idea to invite for example plugin developers, or people with more then X posts or so?
Ok, that last one isn't the best option, but well... Better than random...

I very much doubt that they were picked randomly, they were picked on multiple things. If you didn't get picked now, don't think you're never going to get in - Down the road he might pick more. We simply don't know at the moment his exact plans.
Congratulations to those of you who were picked, looking forward to testing with you all

Ok that's clear. It's not that I'm crying for being not a beta tester or that I'm afraid I'll never be able to use plus again, but I was just wondering.
Of course there are people that are "better" beta testers then me, and people that "deserve" it more, but in my eyes I would be a good beta tester. But well, Patchou's decision, no big deal, I would only like to know why some people are chosen and others not...

If I were you I wouldnt feel too left out; out of 10million downloads only 108 members are BETA testers.

Tbh its none of our buisness imo .... its what patch thinks is right that matters
RE: beta testers by Patchou on 02-11-2006 at 07:40 PM
No tester has been chosen randomly. If you feel you've been left out and you should not have been, take a chance and email me today, I'll just review your application. I got hundreds of them so it's very possible I missed a couple of good requests (or you may simply have not been convincing enough in your email 
).
RE: beta testers by blackjack on 02-11-2006 at 07:57 PM
Woot i just saw my WLMail inbox i got it thanks Patchou
RE: beta testers by Max on 02-11-2006 at 08:04 PM
I have re-applied. Hopefully, I will be deemed suitable.
RE: beta testers by Curtis on 02-11-2006 at 08:05 PM
I don't have his e-mail so I can't apply.
RE: beta testers by Voldemort on 02-11-2006 at 08:14 PM
