A few years back we had an old forum at the ‘articles site’ (www.mudspike.com) and we thought we had invited everyone that had joined there to this new shiny one but it’s possible we missed a few due to some files being chopped up or invites expiring. Anyway, I reran the invite thingy to make it work this time (only 2+ years late, not bad eh?) so if you see any old faces around here then that’s the reason.
While we aren’t actively trying to grow (we have no ads or sponsorship here, so less people is better from an operational viewpoint ) if you look in your User Profile (the circle picture top right of the page) and click the “Invites” tab then you can invite other people to this forum if you have their email address. As you are ‘vouching for them’ then they skip all the usual ‘New user may be spambot protection’ hoops that others have to do. You also get a beautiful badge if you need that sort of self-validation from a machine.
You can also use the “Invite” button at the bottom of any topic if you think someone not here would benefit from seeing it and joining in the conversation.

Sorry, I should have prolly sent this Private to begin with, but, I tried again with another email address, and from my Profile Settings, the Send Invite stays greyed out. Here is a screenie -
