it's just one of the forum in the SocialNetworkService called mixi.jp
mixi.jp requires someone already in the community to invite another
if that another person wants to get registered
you need that process done to get in

and many ill willed spammers are already inside)


Ah, one of those.... I think they do that against spammers and to make it look exclusive. Theoretically the idea is also that that way you can trace where accounts came from so you delete a spammer and also delete the account that invited him (and so on) but that requires some very agressive moderating.

if you don't mind reading japanese
(i think registering forms will also be in japanese)
yes i can invite anyone on THIS list!!

He he he, I wouldn't mind reading Japanese but I simply can't. For ChucK code it should be easy enough though I once saw some Japanese C code in a documentary on arcade shooting games and there all words like "for" and "while"were in English but many variables and function names were in japanese. this would make it quite hard to deal with.

Oh, well, in that case we can't realy link to it, that's a shame.
