Flood of gmail threads

What's going on with the conga? Is it actually empty? If so, since people are still getting tons of invites, maybe it should be made more visible, as in, a link at thet op of G&T or something. I was just thinking that because there have been like 4 or 5 "make me laugh/beat me in doom 3/reply first and get a gmail invite" threads, and people keep replying to them, so obviously they don't know about the conga, and I think a more visible link would help. But yeah, just a suggestion.

    I have a question on g-mail. How do you send an invite? I have an account but I don't know how to invite. Do you just get mail saying you can invite.

    The purpose of the conga was to make it easier to do the conga, compared to the original thread.

    Everyone who was waiting got their invites, so people looking to give their codes away have just been holding contests.

    If people want an invite without entering contests, they can go in the conga and they'll be taken care of.. personally I see no problem with these threads.

    I've heard people mentioning that the conga seems to be broken, but then again it could be people who can't work it properly when sending out invites. I just put the notice in my sig, so I don't inadvertantly send out doubles.

    My only problem is not really with the actualy contests, but more with the reply first and get an invite/free gmail threads. I think there should be one thread for that, or people should use the conga.

    I figured I'd post this here:
    The PHP Gmail conga wrote:
    Whoa! Dude, we are all done with the invites! Go tell alphamonkey the following phrase and recieve your postcount : <editied out>
    I'm curious about my post count but this is a joke, right?

    Anyway I think putting a sticky in G&T with the conga URL would be a capital idea. Right now what happens is people make a thread and start giving out gmails, then someone posts the URL but it's too late.

    I knew, eventually, G&T would come up with something more irritating than Doom 3 and HL2 threads.
