THE INVITE

I've weathered a few Eternal-September moments. It's pretty awful for a little while, then it's over and they end up leaving in their wake the likes of flagamuffin or _refugee_.

Aside from that occasional occurrence, is there another problem we are trying to fix?

Here's what might be interesting anyway: I'd like to see up top on the menu, the word "invite": If I click it from a particular page, it would open up an invitation that I could put the recipient's email on. The invitation would have a link to the page I just left and might say:

Look at this discussion I just contributed to on hubski. or

Look at this link I just found on hubski... or

Look at this friend I just made on hubski...

Then a few words describing hubski and an invitation to look around or watch the tutorial and then it could say:

Check it out and help push back the dark.

While I've been unable to get friends to participate, I frequently send people links to discussions, poems, pages. An invite page would make that easier, plus encourage people to join. Thoughts anyone?
