THE gmail invite thread by bach_m on 08-26-2004 at 04:26 AM

Ok. heres how this works. so we don't have a bunch of threads saying "i have 4 gmail invites" or w/e, and so people who want them can find them, this is THE thread for posting Gmail invites. What to do:

If you HAVE invites to give:
1. CLick the link for the invite. pick a first name and last name, and fill in your own email adress (ur gmail addy works fine), so the letter is sent to you. if you recall, the letter contains a link to the account activation.
2. Copy the WHOLE URL of the activation link, and paste it into your response. number them, just to  be nice.
3. when someone tells you that they used the link(that comes later) cross it off using the [s­][/s] tags.

If you WANT a gmail account.
1. Come into this thread. CLick a link until u find one that works.
2. follow the activation link and make an account. as the name won't be a real one, or at least not urs, u might wanna change it.
3. send a PM (or, if you arn't a member of the forums, an email using the user profile) to the user telling them that you used link number w/e in their post, and thank them for the account :P

PLease only take one account, and only take one if you do not already have one. be nice.

Also: You don't need to give all ur invites away. i have 5, i'm giving away 3

ALSO: DO not post in this thread saying "i want an account" or "someone please send me a link." THIS IS FiRST COME - FIRST SERVED

everyone get the procedure? good.

heres 3 to start the ball rolling.

1. gone

2. gone

3. gone

have fun, people.

RE: THE gmail invite thread by Kryptonate on 08-26-2004 at 11:03 AM

err.. don't you think people who see a post with more than 1 activation code in it will take them all? They had that on Neowin :dodgy:.


RE: THE gmail invite thread by crank on 08-26-2004 at 12:11 PM

wouldn't it be better to let the people who want one pm the user wich then sends the link?
else everyone will take more then one...
i still need an invite btw.

Im not giving invites out anymore because some people just signed up to the forums to just ask for an invite. And i dont agree with that. :dodgy:

RE: THE gmail invite thread by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 12:18 AM

RE: THE gmail invite thread by bach_m on 08-28-2004 at 12:20 AM

Gmail randomly gives them out to people. you'll know, because it will say on the side bar


RE: THE gmail invite thread by Moo on 08-28-2004 at 12:23 AM

RE: THE gmail invite thread by Plik on 08-28-2004 at 09:40 AM

Thats not how you invite people to GMail.
On you main GMail screen, the one with your inbox. Underneath the filters on the left side of the screen. If you have invites there will be a thing that looks abit like this
Invite X friends
to Gmail

And X being the amount on invites you have.
However this wont be there is you dont have any invites.

Also please dont double post, just edit your first post [Image: edit.gif]

Bullshit. :P

I couldn't agree more.

edit: Its a whole debatable area which could be talked about all day. All I know is i hate all this begging for invites shite. Time for some moderator discretion. Closed.
