    In my youth, we had to delete 10 PM's, request the admin by e-mail to reset our postcount, delete all our posts in the OT forum, hum a few ja matas and then we could sent one PM of maximum six characters.

    In my day you had to send your PM once a week by carrier pigeon - it was faster than my 28.8kbps modem - and you were glad of it!

    In my days, we didn't have something to write our pm's on. We had to run to our recipient and deliver the message using our voice. Afterwards, we needed to delete the message using massive amounts of alcohol. The day after we were forced to run back home, with an enormous hangover.

    Ha! Those were the days...

    Carrier pigeons? Bah! Some of us didn't have space for them. When I joined the PM limit was so tight I wrote two guides so I had an excuse to ask for a couple more slots. Back then we had to work for our boosts, none of this free 'sudden inbox boost' stuff you get nowadays. Before you know it you'll have PMs which write themselves, or some such idleness supporting nonsense. Youth of today, they want everything on a plate.

    Ha! Where I live we still have one PM. Go figure, one PM and they had to pick the lousiest politician of the whole bunch.

    Thanks for upping up the limit. I had to erase some stuff early on which I later needed.

    Hopefully it won't happen again. (Of course, raising it again, won't hurt anyone, now will it?)
