Back in the old mh, was one of the symptoms of the board cracking the deletion of instant messages?? Because if so, I just tried to read an IM from Ariana, and when I tried to reply to her, it said they could not find the IM I was looking for, and all my old IMs were deleted...
Help!
I don't understand! I truely hope this isn't a new case of the board cracking under the weight...

Hmm....Proboards server #35 might be filling up. It's probably got so much data in it (Character profiles, images, that sorta stuff) that it is deletinng PMs to clear space. It's possible, but I don't think that's the case. Go to the proboards website and e-mail for help, I guess.

Herm. Well, before it was deleting members, not IMs. Keep your fingers crossed, I suppose...

All my IMs were deleted not to long ago, but that was due to me being impatient and clicking on the wrong thing!
I will be IMing all members now to remind them of a few things and I will mention this within it.
I really hope that the boards are not crumbling, and please let me know if anything else like this happens.

Yes, I'll let you know if anythign happens to me too. But y'know, even with the last board, I can't recall experiencing any strange anomalies like other people.

Yeah, but it deleted Hayz, Cole and some others too. I don't remember who they were, though. o0;
Here's a thought, if you want to save space, why not start by deleting inactive members? Find the ones who have been inactive for quite along time, particularly the ones who have very few posts, and PM the, or email them. If you don't get a response back within say, a couple of weeks, then presume they're inactive and not coming back, and delete them.
It would give us an idea of how many people are really on the site, too.

*raises hand*
I have a question...I noticed that the number of posts that sealla has is now '161' but how is that possible? She has way more than that!!

That is a good idea Hikalyn, but then you get threads which will have guest names on the posts instead of status etc of the character who is posting.
I regularly go through the member lists and delete charcters who have registered more than a month before and have not posted at all. That always gets rid of about 20 or so!
I am keeping my number of IMs down (less than 50 at any one time) and I hope everyone else is doing similar!

Yeah, that's what I meant *nods* People who've registered and only have say, two or three posts. I mean, we wouldn't want to delete anyone with a history, because that would just kind of suck for them. o.o
