I seldom checked the telegram channel before the validation time, many people are sending invitation code in the channel, now this is good, in the past new members are having a hard time getting on and since they have a hard time getting one they leave the community, one of my friend have to wait for two weeks to get his invitation code.
Yes now there is a lot of available invites for newcomers, back in the days when I joined only from the team I could get an invite.
Is funny that people in here are still saying that is hard to get an invite and on my side I find it hard to give it away.
