Hi.

I can't see where this has been discussed before, so forgive me if I am bringing up an old and stale question....

I know that there is a thread in All Saints about PM Boxes being full. But how do I know (prior to such warnings) that my PM box is reaching its limits? Is there a definite number of PMs that a person can have? Or does it also depend upon the length of such PMs?

60 PMs in total, inbox + outbox - in whatever proportion.

As it says on the page listing all your PMs
quote:
You can store a maximum of 60 private messages. Once you hit that limit, no one will be able to send you a private message. So... be ruthless! Delete those old messages!

Ah, but the art is in hanging on to some ripe old ones. I have a couple dating back to 2003.

Bloody luddites.

Copy your treasured PMs to a more voluminous format. Of all the online services to save anything on, I do not recommend The Ship's current board software as a paragon of stable longevity. Also, it avoids the embarrassment of having to be poked publicly to make room.

October 2001. From Erin. And you wonder why I keep it?

...and if you keep those ego-salve precious PM's exclusively on the Ship software, you're being an idiot.

I can see that all this thread is going to be is some more people attempting to impress other random strangers on the internet with how bloody-minded we are and how much we dwell in the past. In the fucking Styx.

No wonder Erin grew to loathe us all.

Hey! I am proud to say I DON'T have an Erin PM!

(Indeed, I can't actually remember ever receiving one from her. I tended to keep my head down when she was around....)
