How many PMs can the PM box hold?

Mine is only 14% full, and I figured it would be easier to ask then do the maths.

If this forum is not appropriate, you can move this.

They can hold an unlimited number really. I just increase the max amount of messages every time my inbox gets close to 100% full. Technically the inbox can hold 300 messages, but i'll up that limit when I get close to 300.

It's possible to make it so only admins can have unlimited messages.

If people PM alot and it keeps increasing.. it might slow the site down in years to come..

Just a helpful suggestion, it's not really any of my business really.

People should be able to have as many private messages as they need. We are running a mysql database so it won't slow the site down. If it does, it will only slow the private message fetching down and I can always purge people's old PMs.

I sure hope you don't purge any of mine.

I'd better take screenshots of them.
