As part of my 'maintenance' before the summer season starts and I am not around, I need all members to go through their Private Messages Inboxes and clean them out. We are sitting on over 5000 read and unread messages that are over 15 days old. This is not a email server, and I do not have the storage space to provide that kind of service. If you have messages you want to save, open a copy of your Notepad or Wordpad or something and copy and paste the messages to your computer. Thank you.

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but it's just that time to clean things out. Thanks.

So, in a few years, if you're walking down a midway and see a Sixcat or a Swinger or a bucket, look around. You might recognize an old man with a smile on his face. Especially if he's saying, "Hey Buddy, can I ask ya?" -sixcat,circa. 2007

Thanks [;)]

As a side note, these messages account for approximately 30% of the database which as they disappear, will allow the system to speed up somewhat without the extra overhead. I'm still working towards some hosting upgrades at the moment (the season starts soon -- maybe the spring will be dry and the upgrades will come soon!)

It's not that it's an immediate rush, but the cleaning does help the system, and I do appreciate it as well. My biggest fear is that many of the message, especially unread ones belong to old member accounts, or one where the password was forgotten, and a new account was created to get around it. The old messages are still in those boxes, and I don't want to 'force the system' to clear them if they legitimately haven't been read (but it's still alot of dead space being taken up) [8D].

Just flushed a whole bunch from the last week or so. I've found that it's easier to take care of them as they come in or within a couple of days.

Also found my outbox surprisingly clean today. Must be the folks I've been PMing are doing their part as well![:D][:D]
