IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs! - Page 5

I may have over 1000PMs, if I counted both incoming and sent. I blame Kingmaker neighbours and their diplomacy!

The limit of 100 is both inbox and outbox combined, so you are doing it correctly.

I was shocked to find like 300 PMs or so. Good ol' Council of Wyrms game

We have never put official limits around PM boxes, but it seems some people are abusing this feature and never deleting anything.

Abuse? Thems fightin' words. I was being lazy.

Still, deletion wasn't any real problem, and we now have 500+ less PMs to deal with. Thanks for the PSA, and thanks for upgrading the forums.

P.S. Your userpic's cute.

I never bothered.. but select all and delete makes a nice empty in and out box

We are going to be preforming another test import this saturday with hopes to do the real site conversion in the next couple weeks (after testing). Therefore, we're putting a deadline of getting PMs into compliance by Friday night. If your PMs aren't under the 100 allowed by the Friday night everything but your newest 100 PMs will be deleted.

Thanks - I was wondering when the deadline was. On the new server, will we be able to be lazy again and let thousands of PM's accumulate?

Hey now mister "8 years of PMs", let's try to be..... well, 'somewhat' responsible about it. >.>

PvK · #49 July 22nd, 2008, 09:39 PM

Oh, I only have a mere 186 PM's going back to 2002. And I now have on my weekly action plan "archive Shrap PM's" scheduled for Thursday. Responsibility in action!

I have started going into accounts that haven't been active in at least a month and have started removing everything but the last 100 PMs. If active users have not reduced their PMs to the new limit, I will be doing the same with their in and out boxes as well during the next couple of days.
