As long as they have the link they can "Join" and start posting. The       only advantage Stas' method has is that he simply started an advertising       campaign for the echo on his own. I suppose that is fine and dandy. Let's see       how this takes off. It is far easier for someone to click on that link and       see the landing (advertising) page and be encouraged to install Telegram, than       it is to install Telegram first and post something to an existing user to wait       for approval.              Exactly what I've been trying to get you to see                     --- tg BBS v0.6.2        * Origin: Fido by Telegram BBS by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 120/340 123/131 124/5016 154/10 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/5411 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81       SEEN-BY: 423/120 460/58 777 1124 5858 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5054/30       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
