If there are any new G-mail accounts to be handed out, I've got a friend who could really use one of them. He doesn't use this bulliten board but I'll give out his name and e-mail when and if any more accounts openings pop up. I'd be much obliged.
GMAIL dosn't get on too well with Opera, so after trying explorer i get the dreaded "page cannot be displayed". Am i just being thick as pig poo, or is it just a question of waiting.
I to am waiting for the opera compatibility... It is beta after all... sooner the better I hope..
After the initial signup, it seems to be a bit before it works. More kinks I imagine. Should be working in a few hours. Once your account is enabled, it's smooth sailing from then on. No issues with any of the 3 I have other then the Opera thing.
I'd appreciate a Gmail account too -- if there's one left somewhere, please contact me via PM or at [XXX]daddeldue[AT]hotmail[DOT]com[XXX]
Edit: I'm adding here instead of posting another msg I'm unable to read the DBB on a minute timeframe and I missed all invites so far. Thought I give it a shot by leaving a posting here If you want to spam this mail account, go ahead -- I got this one so I won't have to use my real accounts
Chances are people are banking on their experience with Google providing a service that's easy to use, easy on the eyes, and innovative.
Their "conversations" thing is pretty interesting, for one. As well as being able to search through all of their mail for essentially as long as they have their account.
Eh...and just how did Stress come about "getting" these G-mail accounts? Won't they be free to anyone shortly anyway? A gig of e-mail space...whee...now you can be a supernerd instead of your average nerd and keep all of your dragonball z episodes in your mailbox.
Well, today is June 24th. Lets just see how long it takes for Google to make them public. You dont have to be an a$$hole about it, just ask, we'll give you one

Nope, that wouldnt work, dragonball z in avi requires 22.1 GB of space, even in realmedia format it wouldnt fit (DBZ is 276 episodes long and boreing BTW).

Yahoo and hotmail suck. More and more boards are blocking them everyday because of forum trolls so all they're good for are throw-away accounts. Furthermore, the interfaces for both of them look like they've been designed by utter morons. They aren't clean, and are full of useless graphics. They should take a lesson from Google. Its fast, clean, and the ad(s) are unobtrusive. Hell, if you're not even paying alot of attention, you don't even notice the banner ad on the far right.
My invite link worked the other day, but now it's nonfunctional. I get the mickey mouse glove over it and click it, but nothing happens. With all browsers. And firewall disabled. Looks like some sort of javascript nonsense.
Argh... I can't tell who still has accounts to give away, and who still needs them. Those of you who've given all of your accounts away, please edit your posts accordingly (kur, I assume yours are long gone.) Those of you who still need them, please keep watching for people to ask for PM's to be sent.
Rather than wade through the mess of account requests:
EDIT: I have ZERO invites at this time.
Congrats to Hahnenkam.
