Cmon RUI, I've got 3 messages in my inbox...
Alot of the messages that I recieve contain usefull information that I'm forced to delete. Whats the reasoning for this? :wall:

Members are allowed 50 Private Messages stored. If you have 3 in your inbox, there are 47 in your Sent Items folder.

Delete them.

So you both obviously don't care how annoying this must be for all the members of RIU...

Is there a good reason why members cannot have more than 50 messages?

As of right now, there are over 378,000 reasons why we limit it to 50 messages. That's how many accounts have been opened.

Ok i hear that... but some text in a message can't possibly overload your servers. its almost no data... What about all the threads with hundreds of pages? Grow Journals with hundreds of photos...? one post alone can use more data than 50 PM's. What fraction of your servers data storage is being used for PM's? Doggies Nuts is probably using more data than all the PM's of all the users combined.

I dunno, I guess you guys aren't too worried about it. I do find it frustrating

Well, you needed an email to register, and PM's go to that as well (if set up properly). Why not use that as your save spot? Keep your sent items cleaned out, save PM's in mail form, and you have unlimited space. Many more things to worry about around here other than pm limit restrictions. RIU admin pays for our knowledge base and should have to worry about our personal storage.

I really don't see how the staff simply does not care. All you say is "delete your items then, we have 300,000 members. Too bad"

What the fuck is that? I'm a moderator on a forum with 700,000 members and we have our setting set to.. wait for it..

-----> 5,000 <---

There is no reason why you couldn't give your members more room for inboxing. Not 300,000 members are going to use their inbox regularly, but the select few that do - do it for a reason. We are here to communicate with your member base here on rollitup.org, and if you limit us to how much we can save in our box, I feel that people just find it easier to find another forum who cares about what their members think.

I didn't come in here to personally complain about something I don't have. I don't care about the limit, I just wanted to put my two cents in seeing as staff have posted basically saying either they don't care about the members to give them more PM space, or that they don't have the space to give. Either choice is complete bullshit. ;)
