I think you've addressed this before, but to remind me - how will invite codes be given out? Specifically, will there be 'x' invite codes for every 'y' months of paid time someone purchased (as on LiveJournal)? Will there be 'x' invite codes for every user, paid or not (like with the one-code-after-one-week thing on LiveJournal)? Or will it be fairly unpredictable, everyone-gets-'x'-invite-codes-whenever-we-feel-we-can-give-out-more? (In which case it's probably not possible to say what 'x' will be, i.e. whether it'll be more on the order of 1, or 10, or 50.)
