increase in pm storage?

Just wandered if it was possible to have a little more storage space for PM? You can only have 350 maximum which is fine but when you've been here a year or more that space gets filed.
And yeah you could delete them but ( and this might just be me) sometimes I like to keep them for records and nostalgia :) I'm having to go through and delete old ones to receive new ones but I don't really want to have to do that.

It is another thing to bug Moka over, but do you really need it? I get what you saying with the whole nostalgia thing, but before you saw those old messages did you even remember them? XD
Heck I did a clear out recently and my oldest PM goes back to the end of 2009.... what use is that? X3

Well if nothing else, more space is better than less. Depends how much work on his behalf it would require.
If it's literally just changing the number then yeah but if it's any more complicated then never mind.

Sounds like a good idea to me if it's simple enough to do.

There's an option in the control panel somewhere, which deletes old PM's when you receive new ones if your inbox is full.

^ point is when you've been here for years you don't want some of your old pms to be deleted. I agree with this idea.

Boom! WS gets it. This doesn't apply to newer (year or maybe two) members but those with a few years or four of membership have had to delete PMs to the point where we have to actually consider which ones to delete because they have more...
I mean it's a bit like having to delete photos off your phone when it's full. You don't just delete that but it feels like deleting the memory of that specific moment, it's just nice to have things to look back at and think "Ahhhhhhh good times."

I know. I've had to delete some of my older PMs at least 3 times since I've been here. I just never cared that much.

I've deleted my older PMs before, and I have to say that it's not the nicest of feelings. I look at what I delete, and 99% is something I don't bat an eye at when I mark it for removal. It's the other 1% that make me stop and think if I really want to delete them or not, although most often it's that the PM will bring back memories of good and bad. Usually good, but it's almost always related to a member that no longer goes on MLK that even seeing the PM brings a powerful nostalgia wave over.

That's my problem with deleting my PM's. I've been here nearly 5 years. There's many of people at the bottom of my PM's that haven't been on the forums for a while but were good friends and sometimes it brings back nostalgia to look back at them.
