It's not letting me enter in the SAME number over and over you have to change it. I even tried a few different numbers & went back to the one I've been repeating and STILL gotten that error.
You just have to change your number up. Browse away and back to the page, it'll let you back in.

Ahh. I dont want him to bannzor my a$$, so im back to the copy and paste method.
I was so tempted last night while getting annoyed that i couldn't win to create an asp page to do the work of submitting the number, but i thought better against it. and im sure he wouldnt be pleased getting hammerd 15 - 20 times a second from the same IP. Grr i wanna win. Need gmail. first 3 invites i get from gmail i will donate back to the site
i got an invite from the official GMail thread(stickied) but i got in there early <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> (infinitum rocks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
But GMail seems to be 'unavailable at the moment' i did have about 30 seconds of time in which it wasn't down, but i never got a chance to <i>use</i> it
