That's only 500,000 rows of data in the database (if everyone's mailbox was full), hardly a large amount.Cucumba said:All 10,000 users on the board with 50 PMs?
Try using an email client.
I still have to clear that with the server's owner. I cannot arbitrarily raise the limits because people are too lazy to export their messages. Still I will ask, though that request is likely to be ignored, if not denied.Kurt said:That's only 500,000 rows of data in the database (if everyone's mailbox was full), hardly a large amount.
And how many of those 10,000 users are actually active
That'd be a negligible amount of disk usage as well.
(not being sarcastic)
What would happen if you had 49 pms and two people tried sending you pm's? You'd be a tard because you should have deleted your pm's long ago.Saiyan_Overlord said:Plus, what if you had 19pms in one box at a time, and two people tried sending you pms, only one of tthere messages would get through .
How about the admins decide to give people a bigger PM box depending on there reputation and folowing forum rules ^^Sub said:How about a compromise... The more posts you have, the bigger the limit of your PM box is?
Let me get this straight; the more you've strained the forum in the past, the more PMs we give you to clog up the disk space? How about no?Sub said:How about a compromise... The more posts you have, the bigger the limit of your PM box is?
My thought process was the more active you are in the community (the more posts), the more disk space you get. It encourages people to be active and would only give more disk space to a select few.Cucumba said:Let me get this straight; the more you've strained the forum in the past, the more PMs we give you to clog up the disk space?

And Overlord, the Forum makes you wait 2 minutes before posting again because people use that to destabilize the database and crash the site. I probably could reduce that to one minute, but then it should take you two minutes to write a well thought out post based on a thread you read and spell and grammar check the entire post.
Then again, based on the literary skills of the majority here, I see that I may just be wasting time [/sarcasm]
uhh. Ever heard of the Delete Message button?EncorE_SX said:Max 20 messages suxx. Put it atleast to 50.
That's what I was getting at in my last post .Cucumba said:And Overlord, the Forum makes you wait 2 minutes before posting again because people use that to destabilize the database and crash the site.

So let me get this. The more you spam the more you get payed >.>Sub said:My thought process was the more active you are in the community (the more posts), the more disk space you get. It encourages people to be active and would only give more disk space to a select few.
I personally have no problem with deleting PMs though, I was just trying to come up with a compromise...
