OK so here's the deal!
I have managed to procure an invitation to Google's Gmail service and I would like to use it to start a sort of a chain of invites on this forum. If you are interested in having a Gmail account, PM me. I only have one invitation at this time and the only condition upon which I will give it is that you must promise to pass on all invitations that you are granted to other people from this site who promise that they will in turn do the same. In this way, I hope that everyone on KF.com can have a Gmail account of their own!
So PM me if interested!
Thanks

Is it just regular email or what? I dont get it... anyone can get free email or am i missing something?
It looks like the perfect thing for people who like Dyno label makers, 72-drawer plastic sorters, etc.

I'm in:) I don't see that I have any invites yet though! I will pass them along when they show up. Seems cool so far!

How long did it take you to get invites, and did you have to do anything special?

I'm pretty darn sure it's completely random. That wasn't my invite that i posted the link of though, that's a link that was posted on another internet forum which is why I said "hurry!" because I didn't want anyone to take it.
Okay, I am in. Thanks, QF. You don't have to save an invite for me, Kg, but thanks anyway.
When I get invites, I will certainly pass them along.

OK, this is strange. I can't access it (GMail) now. It says my browsers cookie functionality is turned off (false) It was set to Medium security, but even changing it to except ALL cookies made no difference. I uninstalled ZoneAlarm, even though I wasn't using it to block cookies. No difference. It was working fine last night, computer was on (as usual)
Any ideas/suggestions?
I would like an invite, should anyone have an extra.
QueensFan
09-07-2004, 02:41 PM
OK the invite mentioned about have gone to C4Stojakovic who PMed me quite some time ago. I'll likely be getting a few more invites soon at which time I'll pass them on to everyone else!

It's all in who you know:)
Let's see vj9999 has been asking the longest, and Rockmeister has sent me a bunch of PMs, so they are next. I encourage them to pass on their invites to the members of this board when they get some!
And if you're still waiting, don't worry, I'll have more invites soon:)
I wouldn't mind an invite, and I'd pass on those I get to KF members, but it ain't that big of a deal so please put me at the bottom of any list. I only want one if you have nobody else to give it to. Thanks!
I got one from my brother, so I no longer need one.

Dang! I am still waiting for my first invite to send out. I wonder why they haven't given me one yet? Well, if they ever do, I'll contact someone on the list right away.

As far as I know, it's very random as to who and when invites are distributed. I should be able to cross everyone's name off the list by tomorrow, so if you haven't gotten your invite yet, it'll probably be on the way! (I HOPE!:))

If any of y'all wanted to pass along an invite to a poor, lowly Mavs fan (me), I would greatly appreciate it. I would also be more than happy to extend the same courtesy to any other needful member of this fine site...

We got you covered, Evilmav2. You have been added to the list. :)
i got mine from QF already. Big Thanks again! Don't worry y'all, i'll pass on among KF members invites i'd get. :)

Edit: I got an invite from another source.
I wouldn't mind an invite either... but I'm only a junior member.
Okay, JSin.
Here is the latest list. Please post here if some passes on an invite so you can be removed from the waiting list.
It looks like MadD, Parni, Bibby_Is_Clutch, uolj, Evilmav2, and JSin are still on the list to receive one.

Alright all, I have been blessed to have 12 gmail invites.
yup thats right 12!!!!!
so if anyone wants one put your email address down in this thread and then I will email it to you.
I will try to see if the email addy of these people are in their profiles. If so I will send one right now.
MadD, Parni, Bibby_Is_Clutch, uolj, Evilmav2, and JSin
By the end of about a week everyone on kingsfans that wants a gmail invite will have one, if everyone pitches in.
O and invites are given at random, just to let you know, but in your account there will either be a bar near the top that says you have 6 invites or a box on the left bottom side that says it.
Psot your email below

Thanks 6th !
I'll take that as a yes. ;)
Wait, did you send him one too 6th or were you just checking whether he got mine? Parni, if you got them from both of us, you could just forward the link from the unused invite to a friend.
No sooner did I send that one out, but they refilled me back up to six. Nobody here needs one still? If not, I'm going to start offering them in other venues.
Going once...
Going twice...
No, NME, I did not send one. I was just checking that everyone was covered.
NOTE:: I have 6 invites if anyone needs one for themselves or a family member.

OK, as the founder and unofficial moderator of this thread, I pose the following question:
Is there anyone else on Kingsfans.com that would still like a Gmail invitation? There seem to be plenty of invitations to go around if someone is interested. My one premise when I founded this thread was that all recipients must pass on their invites to other KF members, but if no one else is interested I will release them of this duty. This message will self destruct in 24 hours!

09-14-2004, 05:08 PM
Looks like the demand for invitations has died down. I have 6 invitations to give out. PM me with your email if you want one.
I gave out a few more last night, and this morning I was back up to six again. I can't get rid of them! :)

Have you been using the email address? I think they only give you invites after you actually use the service for yourself.

09-15-2004, 04:49 PM
I haven't been using mine that much. Sent 4-5 emails back and forth to my other emails to test how it works and try the search. It took a while to get the invites.
I still have 5 left by the way :)

I'm wondering if it has to do with how many "generations" out you are. If everyone's giving out several invites, then each circle outward gets exponentially bigger. Google may be controlling the growth rate by releasing invites out to X number of links in the chain.
It occurs to me that Gmail and vampires use pretty much the same recruitment system. http://www.haarlemjazz.nl/img/smilies/vampire.gif
