You all were warned about your PMs

[Webmaster]

Well its been a week - and today as we have time we will start to nuke anyones PMs over 100. ALL OF THEM. There is no way to get them back. After we are done - we will be putting up a 100 PM limit on your accounts.

Just on last fair warning for everyone.

Thanks

[Crighton]

I've had my box cleared twice over the last week. I also had under 100 messages. Anyone else have this happen to them ?

Hey, thanks for deleting the important ones. Now this forum sucks. Got a bunch of PM babies. Next time just delete the old ones, not the current ones.

[Webmaster]

HI,

We can only do a mass delete of a users PM. We cant go in and delete only old or "important" PMs.

You had a week to organize and get them under 100. So - sorry if I dont sound too sympathetic.

And Crighton - we havent deleted anyones PMs before today. If you lost some it might have been an error in the data base - or make sure you are veiwing ALL of your PMS - as the default setting only shows some of them.

[Crighton]

I only had 3-4 of them so no biggy. Probably happend do to a roll back.

There are no messages to display in this folder for this time period.

What? I made sure over and over that was under 100. And now, all my VERY important sales PM's are gone. I need those too at this point because of a sale conflict, now I have no proof of what he said.

Edit: Yes, I deleted ALL my sent pms

Phew! Just made it... from 1000 to 93 PM's

i'm almost positive i didnt have 100 PM's, and my WHOLE thing got deleted, so what's up?

i have none.....

[RobAGD]

Did you delete you sent copies ? did you delete you delivery request folder ?

Did you view ALL you pm's ? Most people on have it set to view current. There is a setting to show from the begining, which will show all your pm's

I changed the announcement to reflect the ending of the purge and to give you an update.

Sorry for people who feel thier PMs were wrongly deleted - you didnt follow the instructions - or the computer lied to me when I delted the PM account.

The limit is now 150 PMs - some of you are already at or near that limit - so you may need to remove messages to use your PMs.

The good news is - now with the limit in place - we shouldnt have to mess with it again.

The announcement will stay up for a week just to let everyone know.

Feel free to vent here - but just an FYI:

NO - we cant bring the PMs back - its a permenant thing.

If you thought you were under 100, and your account was deleted, then you missed one of your folders, or didnt view the PMs from the beginning. The ADMIN controls let us see who has how many PMs and sort by number of PMs. We CAN'T decern where they are, what they are about, or how old they are (they are private - remember?)

This is probably the last Ill post on this - but thanks for all those who complied!

They have been warning everyone about this for like 2 weeks. Next time why not pay more attention?

Was I the only one who had NEVER deleted a PM? I cleared them out after the warning, but I'm sure I was one of the big violaters that Webby was talking about. I can't be the only one who never bothered to delete any, right?

I was the same pretty much :)

Went from 1000 down to 93 after a bit of a clean out... could probably bring that number down to about 30-40 that I really want to keep, just need time to read through whats left and be ruthless.

*Sigh* Time to delete all my female fan mail...

I deleted all mine, almost immediately after reading the thread from Webby.
