I was told that you have to login to see this thread...

wanrooij (at) gmail speaking... Thanks!
Unfortunately, no invitations link appears in my account.

 

[M0NEYSH0T]

Crap... How can we lock down this thread to registered members? I suppose we could post the new gmail account the person created to SPAM the hell outta of it, UNLESS people response and say thanks? What do you think?

 

[rubisco]

I'm sorta new, but trying to be active on the boards. hook me up if you can.

There is nothing worse than uncontributing lurkers. I wish that if you didnt keep a consistent post count your account would be banned to get rid of the lurkers

What is a consistent post count though? Some people just don't want to post unless they have something worthwhile to say...plus you don't need to log in to read the forums, so that won't stop lurkers.

Why don't you just post "1st PM gets an invite"

Lurkers cant PM


After someone takes it, edit your message so you don't keep getting PM's

i think there should be a line or queue and whoever get invited will invite those further down the line. that way lurkers can't/won't post to join this 'line'

Or you can do first post after a gmail offer gets PMEd the code

or make it fun like I'm thinking of a number between 1 - 10 , first person to post it get the code

or even better, first person to post a pic of "insert something funny here" gets a code

either way, lurkers can't post..

Its the public lurkers that are the main problem. They dont even have an account and they are seeing this thread.

 

[M0NEYSH0T]

I'm going with the PM, at least for me.

ALL of you people that now have GMAIL accounts or had GMAIL accounts, WILL get invites sometime. Usually, it's within the first day or two.

Later...

 

[rubisco]

we could have a minimum post # for people to get these accounts. hmm, how about 59 posts minimum? heh.

Funny thing is my first offer was my Florida vote for pres, which got deleted, but some kind sole saw it and emailed me an account. Of course, i'll reciprocate once i get some invites.

 

[illusionz3]

Wow. I replied to this this morning on the fourth page, what a popular thread. hehe. /me still wants

 

[kewlio]

wouldn't mind a pm for an invite, thanks in advance

 

[L00PY]

I'll jump on the me too bandwagon -- and watch for any "PM for an invite" posts.

 

[torkd]
