Okay...let's sort this GMail thing out...

GMail is all well and good, until you have to page to find non-Gmail posts.
What's funny is that there are more posts complaining about Gmail posts in the Lounge than there are legitimate Gmail posts offering invites.
In other words, if everyone would just ignore the invites unless you were legitimately interested, it wouldn't be that bad. Just my opinion, especially since I just now got my invite.m_mond wrote: In other words, if everyone would just ignore the invites unless you were legitimately interested, it wouldn't be that bad.

And sharing is what this site is all about !! Regardz Colin J Davies Attention: Watch this signature for an upcoming announcement that will affect you.

First off, Gmail invites were not banned from the Lounge. As Mike Mullikin states: _Chris Maunder wrote:
We're having a moratorium on GMail ending Monday morning.The post was dated Friday, August 28 thus the moratorium ended on Monday, August 30. Today is Thursday, September 2 thus the moratorium is over and while still annoying the "GMail Invite" posts are not still banned to the Soapbox. Kapeesh?!_ Chris suggested that he might make a separate Gmail forum just till the hype dies down, but I don't see one. It would be nice if we just moved all these to the Soapbox, but I think the regulars there (Losinger and all the other political activists that like to fight in there) would get a wee bit upset that their arguments were getting bumped by Gmail invite announcements. In other words, stop saying that Gmail invites were banned. They aren't. Anybody who says otherwise clearly does not understand what the word moratorium means...and should go look it up.

They should be banned. Not only from the lounge, but from the internet in general.

Don't forget the meta-complaints :)

I've had a GMail account for an entire week and the boys at Google haven't seen fit to give me a single invite yet. I'm chomping at the bit to flood the Lounge with GMail invites, but I'm stuck with no ammo. ;P ;P ;P Seriously though, anybody know how long it takes before Google ponies up a couple invites for a new user?

I got 6 in the first week, but I have no idea what the criteria are for receiving them. Perhaps clicking on a few ads will increase their largesse. "My kid was Inmate of the Month at Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections Center" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City

Was hoping somebody would pick up on that. :-D An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
Heh...as one of few Americans who actually took geography, I pride myself on knowing where things are and being able to discuss most of the world intelligently. :)

I'm playing the original Unreal Tournament. I have played UT2k4, but I didn't like it as much as I do the original. I have not tried Unreal Championship on the Xbox, and I doubt I ever will. I just can't play FPS games using a game pad. -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...
Big UT classic (sniper/camper servers) and Q3 Freeze/Rail servers. I have had UT2003 and now UT2004, but all those new vehicles just take the fun out of it, too much like Halo. Like big maps in UT. What type of UT play are you into and what servers you frag on? Mine are mostly SSS, ACE, lol and FBI. What is your name on the servers in case I spot a chance to frag you? :) Mine is always Rocko!

CTF is a bit hard when I can't communicate verbally with my team mates. I usually end up protecting base when I do play CTF. I play mostly on Truff[^] servers, and occasionally on Boomtown, under the tag Dr_Doom :) Rocky Moore wrote: What is your name on the servers in case I spot a chance to frag you?
