I think the private message limit is low on here. I've been having to delete business transaction correspondence to keep under the limit. I've seen way too many "Ping - (insert name here), your PM box is full" type threads.

Does it really take up that much space to store text only private messages? Is there any way we could export old messages? I'd be more than happy to bundle up my messages and store them locally like Microsoft outlook does.

Hopefully Mclemore or other admins will chime in on this.
 
Ah thanks 2600!

I'll be downloading them in all formats then.

And friz - 1000 includes sent and received. I might have 30 combined per each crochet project. 1000 goes pretty darn quick.
 
Crud!!! I wish I would have read this before I nuked all my messages. I keep running low on room, too. I get an incredible number of PM's here on KLOV... I think it might have something to do with all the freebie giveaways, though.

We are reviewing some ways to increase this in the future for people that are extra supporting of the site, ie: vote on game submissions, etc.

Upping the message limit from 1000 pm to something higher doesn't sound like much but multiply it out by all the users on the system and adds up quickly.

I've been on here for years and never hit the limit. Maybe you should just clean your shit every once in a while. :) I mean really, do you need to store that many messages??

I delete pretty much anything that is unimportant. 90% of all of my saved emails are transaction correspondence. I do alot of transactions, but there are people on here that do even more. I bet the limitation is a real PITA for them.

I Have gotten most of my parts from here and use the old messages to contact people I have luck in the past with .
So yes I would love to see more storage even in a pay for version
