PaGaLGuY.com Invites? ;) - 30-11-2005, 10:31 AM

Been testing another piece of functionality - its called PaGaLGuY.com Invites. Its a way you can invite your friends,family or other interested junta to the forum.

Right now we allow both regular registrations and invite based registrations. The invite based registrations are similar to gmail.com style invites.

All you need to do to send an invite to somebody is head over to :

www.pagalguy.com/forum/invites.php

This URL can also be found in your USER CP. I've kept both options open for a while and wanted to discuss the pros and cons of disabling direct registration for everyone and making pagalguy.com an invite only forum. Out with your thoughts folks

PS: Do invite others rightaway to the forum

The requested URL was not found on the server.
-- Old Apache saying
1find ('fInd), v.
Middle English, from Old English findan; akin to Old High German findan to find,
Latin pont-, pons bridge, Greek pontos sea, Sanskrit patha way, course
2 a : to come upon by searching or effort <must find a suitable person for the job>
b : to discover by study or experiment <find an answer>
c : to obtain by effort or management <find the time to study>
d : ATTAIN, REACH <the bullet found its mark>
-- Merriam-Webster Dictionary
i think its a bad idea. its against the very nature of internet to make information avaliable openly and more freely. some ppl may land up on this place using google only to find this irritating invite only thing.

PG, the link doesn't work


We've all heard that half a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know that's not true.

well..... i came across pagalguy bcz a frnd like mine wanted me to read a post written by him... i liked the site and stayed on..... but with invite only, it wud mean a lot more work and effort to get registered..... seems like a bad idea unless u r sure tht PG now has achieved tht critical mass and popularity tht ppl wud put in tht extra effort to get themseelves registered...


the most cliched thing abt most cliches is tht they are true........

hey man,

I also think that PG shud be open to all. In this way, we shall be able to increase Puy's count by leaps n bounds. Making it a restricted access may hinder those ppl who know it from search engines or MBA queries.....But the other selfish me endorses Pagal's view.Lets keep PG for ourselves...

Somebody help me out,.....Y m i so selfish...


cheers

No No No No No No !!!!

You cannot make it invite only! That wud mean sinking to a depth where you try and make it exlusive/organically growing/whachamacallit....Load of BS...
Lets just keep it both ways, referrals and freshies... coz the whole place is warm and friendly.... and a msg like "sorry u have to know someone to join blah blah" is against the spirit...

But keep the invite thing anyway...
