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

    As a non-admin, I don't get name change requests

    OH WAIT.

    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.

    I have 80 in my inbox right now and that includes copies of ones I sent. This dates back about three years. I haven't deleted very many. So yeah, I don't know how people need space for hundreds.

    I've sent and received maybe at the most, 450 PMs, in all my time here.

    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.
