thepixiesrock Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 They probably did it to keep you out, and they knew you'd be hard pressed to find some friends. Oho zing!

angshuman Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 On topic: I have absolutely no idea. At any rate, with 50 invites per-user these days, it's practically a free-for-all. Gone are the days when each current member only had 2-3 invites, and you could sell (exchange) them on a website for useful trinkets . I remember exchanging an invite for a 1-month (3-month? I forget) Xbox Live free-trial key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreptishus Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) I once had a nasty virus in my Gmail account, it mailed itself to people in my address book and people in cc lists that included me. It was rather embarrassing as the subject title was of an adult nature. I deleted the account and never used gmail again.

Musopticon? Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I helped this rich kid in school way back then and he gave me an invite. One of the best internet things to ever happen to me. That said, if you want an invite, feel free to PM me about it. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.
