The point of Invites?
-
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right sector, but it seemed relevant.
There's the option of trading bonus points for invites. But if I'm not mistaken, anyone can sign up again. So my question is what would be the point of the Invites?Are there extra benefits? Is there a special status for it? Or is there none at all?

Actually if the staff are to be believed no-one can sign up AGAIN unless you first ask them to delete your previous account(s) and explain why.
The point of invites is to invite people you know during periods when it is invite-only sign up, like now.
You automatically get some invites to share when you become a power user. You can buy invites using bonus points but they can only be used by powers users. Who get an upload credit when someone joins.
So, in short, for you, no point at all

There is a bit of an up side to them… If you invite a friend to the site, you get 2 GB of upload credit upon them accepting the invite (within 24 hours) and signing up for an account.

I did mention that credit but you have to be a Power User to be able to invite someone, hence my 'no point comment'
