Invite-only system no longer working

[aendra-rininsland]

Howdy!

It seems the invite system was partially removed in commit cdf602d. Part of what made me interested in using this project in the first place was the invite system, and it's kinda confusing that there are still relics from that (Limited invites, columns in the User model).

Suggested resolution:

• Re-add the invite system in a more modular fashion, such that it can be turned off and on via config option.
• Failing that, remove the constrained invitation system (I.e., give users unlimited invites).
• Create a branch for using the invitation system, such as is suggested used to be the case in Dan's amazing Heroku blogpost.

Yup, I half/removed the invite system (not very cleanly). Apologies.
Definitely happy with a config option for invites.

@maccman No worries! Found the commit where it was done, doesn't seem like it'd be too much work to re-add it with config options. Thanks for getting back to me!

My inexperience with Ruby may be a bit apparent with this, but any particular place where you're doing global config already? Or is it all just env vars? If just env vars, I'll continue in that vein.

ENV var read from app.rb

@maccaw Cool, sounds good!

I've done a bunch of git stuff so that aendrew/newsdevlist#master is a straight copy of maccman/monocle's master branch and aendrew/newsdevlist#readding_invites has my changes re-adding user activation against commit 56f4639.

Once I add the system configurable via env vars I'll do a pull request.
