PMs galore
i just noticed, there have been 20,000 odd posts and 20,000 odd PMs. that's a whole lot of PMs.
in actual fact this is the 23,060th post, but 2,500ish have been deleted. that's a whole lot of deleting.

I bet 45% of those PMs are Dez's
How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

Woooooow.
And I thought only *I* was a huge fan of the PM system.
I do think some might by mine,unfortunately.
But definetly mr. dobalina and Reivax are guilty as well..
That's more PMs that I can count haha..

once both recipient and sender have deleted a pm, it's gone for good. so i can't find out what percentage was from who. too bad.

Oh that sucks!
I mean, lately I've been emptying out my inbox a lot...
Before I used to be so..."attached" haha, now I'm being a bit more open minded about deleting stuff.
That's crazy though, 20,000..

I know this is gonna sound super sad, but...when I log in and it says "You have 6 new PMs" I smile...because, it's not one pm..or
two..it's SIX.
Yeah, I'm pathetic.

im happy if there's one there, even if i'm expecting it. But i too have to clean out my inbox and outbox quite often...... which used
to be quite difficult, because i didnt want to delete some messages....

It's funny how easily we can become attached to something as simple as a PM.

I delete them after I reply to them or, if there's no need to reply, after reading.

I guess I am pretty guilty. I find myself deleting PM's dozens at a time. Almost every time I am writing them, I have a maximum amount that I
can hold, and I have to delete a bunch more. 90% of those are to Dez, though.

the time but hey i like to know how people are. but those i delete afterwards. (does this make any sense? if it doesnt im sowwie!)

Aww.
But, it's true. so that deserves an extra "aww" from me hah.
Most of my PMs are to Dobs and Reivax, but I think I said that on my first post..then of course, there's Side0jr..my e-bf. haha

but on my comp, it tells me that i have "one new pm" even if i have more than one... what is with that?
anyway, i dont really use them that much, but every once in a while i do.

it tells you how many PMs you have when you request the page. so if you get another PM and you haven't clicked a link, then you go to the PM
page there will be two.

oh Bart, ive got a complaint... if your pm box is one away from full, and you type a pm, but someone else sends you one first, and it fills up your
box, when you hit send it tells you your box is full, and you lose the pm that you were just working on. (did that make sense?) maybe the "your
pm box is full" should pop up in a new window so you dont lose the one you are working on.. it happens to me a bunch and it's really
annoying... i really should just empty my box but i dont wanna... ok im done.
