Link Somewhat Related I have one invite to what.cd and am looking for an invite to waffles.fm before Christmas would anyone be kind enough to share in the holiday spirit.
Not to mention anyone else who may enjoy getting into any other invite only websites may also post their requests and offers.
If you receive please have something to offer to the inviter like proof of inviting someone else to something you have or otherwise. Sort of a pay it forward concept.
Rules:
1. Post you're request by simply putting down what you can offer and what you're looking for.
2. If you have made a direct offer to someone in this thread who has made a request post that you have made someone an offer for their request.
3. Make sure that if you've received something with no request to reciprocate that you be sure to try to give someone else something.
4. Respect the membership you have just attained as I know you MeFi'tes do so well.
5. Don't post you're email addresses publicly to avoid spam try to stick to using mefi mail untill someone actually sends an invite to you and visa versa.
6. Have fun and hopefully I get a waffles invite :P.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is not what metafilter is for. This is not even close to what metafilter is for. If what metafilter were for was in, say, Fenway park, this would be an Amway presentation in Santa Monica. -- cortex
I was going to make some joke about respecting the membership you've just attained, chipmunk, but you've been here since '06. What the?

I was going to post the fact that I'm new to actual mefi I've been an ask'er for a while. So I'm somewhat new to this whole thing :P forgive me for being somewhat ... out of the ordinary and probably not so clear on the guidelines.

You don't? Mefi is for sharing interesting things. It does not take the place of your personal blog, and it isn't like a messageboard where you can make a post about anything at all. Posts should point people to new things they can read, watch, use, or listen to.

Just to head things off, swapping invites isn't really what MetaTalk (or AskMe, or Projects, or Music, or Jobs) is for either.
Uh, the occasional Google Wave thread aside, I guess.

If I wasnt in dire need of sleep as much as i'm in dire need of an invite I would have certainly realised this is a meta talk post and not a metafilter post. Thats what I get for staying up way past my bedtimes.
