(I'm going to leave this stickied, perhaps permanently, to be sure everyone sees it.)
Okay you know our server, "nffostershome.proboards52.com"? Our board is stored there, as well as everything associated with it, and that includes everyone's PMs. Since I don't plan on ever trimming old posts (as Proboards recommends to improve server performance) because I want to keep them forever, its especially important for everyone to try and clear out their PM boxes from time to time. I'm sure some of you guys use PMs more than I do, and I feel I get a lot of PMs, being the admin, but I just had to clear out about 80 PMs that amassed over only a few weeks.
Please try to keep your PM boxes as clear as you can - don't stress if there are a few in there, that's okay. (Anything over 50 is excessive though.) Also, its easy to forget to clear your Outbox - just click on the word OUTBOX in the menu bar at the top of your list of PMs to go to your outbox. Every outgoing PM you send automatically saves there, so you must delete them manually. I just had to clear 5 pages worth.
If everyone keeps their PM box tidy it should help keep the forum from running slowly or hanging up. Thanks!
(Btw while we're on the subject, in case anyone is wondering, no, even I do NOT have access to anyone's PM box but my own. I can not and do not snoop through people's private messages.
However that means I can't clear other people's boxes which is why I wanted everyone to know how important it is to do so themselves.)
