My PM total had passed 1,111 and was getting out of control. Enough is enough - this is a contest I don't want to win. After nuking most older PMs, things are more tidy now.

Cold Warrior is madly deleting PM's. He doesn't want to be #5

There are two reader50s? At least pick a different number to append to your nickname to make things less confusing?

I feel like writing a script to randomly PM you guys...
"Hey there Cold Warrior. I'm just wondering... Do mods such as yourself like apple sauce?"

I have significantly reduced my inbox contents, and have all but eliminated my sent contents. I've just been distracted of late and haven't cleaned out old, obsolete messages. Like from 2004... All done now.

For the heck of it, I checked who had a full box at exactly 80. Turns out there was only one. 79 and 78 each had multiple members, but I noticed an odd pattern.
80 Dakar V
79 DakarÊ’ (+7 others)
78 Dakar the Fourth (+5 others)

So, mods and admins, since you're boring us all with this instead of posting it in the admin lounge, how's about bumping us all up to 200+? They're only wee little text snippets, after all - they can't take that much space.

...and to think, I could have had three consecutive 80 accounts if jerks hadn't been PMing me the days leading to 5k.
'Course my current account is missing from the list; Laminar won't even look me in the back of the head anymore.

I tried PMing you a week or two back but your box was full so I gave up.

Wish granted. Also, this broke Dakar's full-box streak.
Credit to OisÃn for pushing it through. Even though he only has 76.

Remember that time Kevin claimed his PM box filled up twice a week with poor weaklings from the PWL that were begging him to defend them against the mean Liberals?

Kevin's claims aside, didn't we have a ridiculously low limit back then though? I'm sure it's not always been 80.

I always wondered why we were only allowed 80, I'm too used to gmail.

It used to be 40 until a few years ago. Which, looking back, was obscenely low. I think we feared changing it because of how quirky the server was at the time.

Quirky? The Hamstor was downright psychotic for quite a while... But yes, it was very low for a very long time.

I think you guys should tie the PM increases to mac mini bumps.
