I've never gone over 500 either. If it gets high I just clear them all. :p

As a non-admin,I don't get name change requests
OH WAIT. :mad2:
But yeah, I'd say the amount of PM's I have that are staff related aren't really many. More Site Staff than Forum Staff, too... but more often than not it's just a nice way to contact someone while I'm at work and don't want to turn AIM on.
EDIT: Why do you guys clear them when you don't need to?
Because at the time, I was working my hoo-has of to keep the server from barthing, or GSN from cutting off our hosting because of our database being to big. A billion PMs cluttering up the database seemed to me like a really good way to rape it, so I didn't.Quote:

I've sent and received maybe at the most, 450 PMs, in all my time here.
More or less.Quote:

I have 1001 at the moment. I guess that includes sent as well as received. I had to clear out a few hundred once because my box was full, but now I can go as high as 65535. This is good because I don't like to delete PM's. :)
did you give RMs unlimited PMs too? (I know you haven't yet)
also, RMs should be able to edit the titles of their threads.
One step ahead of you. :)
Archie says everyone can (edit thread titles), so try it out. We're working on it.
Man, ya'll are a bunch of packrats.
I feel like I'm suffocating from too many PM's when I have more than a dozen and I go through and prune the fat out.
Before I cleared out my PM box a few weeks ago, I had 250 or so, dating right back to my newbie days in 2001. Out of these, 0 were important.
If you really must retain every piece of junk ever sent to you, save it in a Word document.
wow, I really can edit my thread titles. I feel so empowered.
Imagine the possibilities!
I've never deleted a PM. I have 106.
shameful, yous.
