When I wanted to get on forrst, I looked at the request process on the site and it was obviously broken. So I looked into other avenues of recieving an invite - much, much more effective. There are easily researched places where people have plenty of direct invites - all you have to do is show a portfolio. Of course, that may not be necessary now since every forrst member effectively gets 2.5 invites a day for the request backlog and invites are not as strongly tied to your reputation.
