wow are they gonna cut it off as soon as too many people sign up?

[truefusion]

I believe that's what they're going to do. And i think there are under 50 refferals before they stop (last i've heard). 2gigs and counting is a lot of memory to be giving it away just for anyone to use. Plus it's all beta testing.

That's what i meant in my post, but google itself only allows a certain amount of people, that a user with a gmail account, to invite their friends or whoever to join the gmail community. Once you run out it is hard to gain extra invites.

[quote name='http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7403']If you should run out of invitations, you'll no longer see the option to invite more friends to create Gmail accounts. For now, we can't give you more invites, even if you ask nicely or offer to tattoo Gmail on some part of your body. (You'd be amazed at what people will offer for a Gmail invitation.) Gmail may, however, randomly grant invitations to your account as they become available in the future.[/quote]

[quote name='http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7986']We are still testing Gmail as part of a preview release, which is why it is not available to everyone at this time. It takes time to test, analyze and improve any new product. We believe Gmail is an innovative search-based approach to email, and we do expect to make Gmail available to the general public in the future. [/quote]

Every time I give someone an invite it refills to fifty after a day or so. I tink the invite system is just to stop spammers.

[shigajet]

I have gmail myself and I have yet to use my invites so far. Surely Google won't stop offering the service if I invite more people to use gmail.

[wariorpk]

They better not cut off Gmail. If they do I'll have to use Yahoo and thats not good because I don't have all the storage and there is are alot more ads. Even if they give out no more invites at least I'll still have it (I hope). If Gmail is ever open to the public they should allow the people who were invited to Gmail to keep their storage.

If they shut down, it's ok as long as their current users are still active (I got 10 gmail accounts he he)
