I don't have time to read the rest of this thread unfortunately, but I reiterate that it is much too early in hubski's growth cycle to implement an invite system. Invite systems work for websites like Broadcast The Net, which people desperately want to be a part of. No one wants to be a part of hubski, because they haven't heard of it.

Our average new user these days finds hubski at random on google or via reddit. If we make it so only 1/30th of the time can those random users join ... no one will join.

Again, I haven't read the pros that you all list. I'm sure they are thoughtful. But I'm still baffled that this is even on the table right now.
