Was getting money from strangers more important than taking care of existing customers? The Dog is just using a marketing ploy to make himself look "exclusive." That, and raking in money hand over fist! You do realize that the money he rakes in from advertising is almost certainly enough to pay server costs.
Like it or not, there are other indexers that have a great selection, speed and plenty of features. I suspect that the Dog is afraid of people trading invites because they might find out that other indexers are as good or better than what he has. Example: Some of them (Nzbgeek.info, just to use another Newsnab site as an example but certainly not an endorsement does not require invites) have a request section and people willing to fill requests. Dog made it perfectly clear that any request post would be deleted. Spare me the crap that taking requests puts you in a shakier legal position than simply running an indexer. Newsnab sites that did not take requests (nzb7,nzb-matrix.eu) have shut down because of perceived legal risks.
The Dog might have been ahead of the Newsnab race eight months ago, but he is no longer the big deal his slavering fanboys make him out to be.
I hope the Dog gets more people to drink the Kool Aid!!
