For those who received invites after we decided to not accept any (and presuming there isn't any restrictions):
Is there a reason you engaged in conversation with the invitees prior to posting on the board about receiving it?
Why did you answer? Why didn't you just leave the invite open and not answer so that it didn't pass on to the next person and we stall them out?

I'll answer for my invitation.
Yes, there was a 24 hour time limit to answer.
No, there was nothing saying I had to respond before I could talk in the thread again. However, the message did say not to talk about the content of the invite, with a few exceptions which I did mention when I posted about my invite.
I contemplated letting everyone know I had the invite out there before I rejected. However, there has been a lot of bad blood out there for the members and didn't want to associate myself with the group prior to rejection. In my eyes, if I said "hey guys, should I accept?" I think some people would have cried fowl stating we agreed to reject all offers and my hesitation would be seen as scummy. I'll admit it was easy for me to judge others prior to me getting the invite, so try to see it from the invitees perspective.
As I said above, I did not want to post again on the board before I rejected the invite. That's why I didn't wait on the 24 hour deadline. Now that you bring that up though, it could be a solid strategy for the new invitees.
Hope that information helps.
