You see I'm having a very tough time with PMs...
I've learned recently that users are allowed only 50 PMs, and I find this highly inconvenient. You see, as you become more involved in the Runouw community... of course you'll be getting PMs! And I've already reached my limit. I've been constantly deleting but it appears I still have a clogged inbox. 50 is an extremely small number when it comes to PMs. I have no intention of deleting messages from MP3 which are mandatory for the 17th LDC, nor messages from SK which are mandatory for the Runolympics. There are PMs I want to keep as mementos, etc.
In fact, I think I'm only reaching the limit now because of the PM nuke.
So here's my proposal.
As you get more posts... you are allowed more PM space. I have no idea if this i possible in the ACP, but having a member have 50 PMs available while Mods and GMods get 999 isn't fair... Perhaps we could have a 50 PM upgrade per 100 posts. Having more posts proves that your posts are:
1. Contributing/relevant to the forums which implies you have common sense. (They would be deleted if they weren't)
2. You deserve more PM space as you are clearly getting involved in the Runouw community
If a Mod/GMod feels you don't deserve the PM upgrade, they can manually switch you back to the 50 PMs as well.
So that's my proposal. Thoughts?

You're completely correct.
The only thing is that the mass amounts of PMs were colgging up the site memory as well, yett I see no reason not to extend the amount of PMs we can have.

Thoughts? Well, I think that may be a good idea. 
I kinda miss the old 1000 maximum PM limit. And I think that Suyo thinks that a way to lessen the crashing of some pages is to decrease the PM limit (which he did).

*blinks*
*blinks again*
*blinks a third time*
I'm sorry... you guys only get a limit of 50 PMs in your inbox?
Wow. See, I have 1,000 as a limit and I didn't know it was different for anyone else. Suyo didn't even mention it, methinks.
Well, I'll wait for Suyo to react, but I'm pro expansion, for sure, although maybe we should do routine cleansing or something.

I think you have 1,000 cause your a mod. You are one of the biggest active people on runouw. I think since normal members aren't known well they don't get enough PMs so they might as well get a 50 PM limit. What about other staff like story or wiki mods? And the reason nobody knows this is because its personal and blaah blah blah. I don't think Suyo would have probably known that.

The thing is that the PM system seems to take up most of the power of the server (even more than the real forum!), thus we have to enforce strict limits, else the "Error 28" which you see occasionally will become pretty much permanent.
The server is generally too weak for the number of users right now. Runouw has already mentioned he may change to a dedicated one, no word on when he does that, though.

Why can't we redirect some requests through your server, Su-- *is shot*

So what does Runouw have to do to get an upgraded/dedicated/whatever-you-call-it server?
I'm SuYo the faker, I rant in Forum 23 so you don't have to.

The site is hosted on GoDaddy. Runouw is in college.
Runouw has a job off-site. Most goes to his real life, the rest goes to GoDaddy.
If the site were to get a bigger better server, it'd require a group of people spending paychecks.
As for the limit, how do you know Gmods get more space than us? Last I checked, they're users like us. Nothing makes them better.
If I can suggest something, maybe an option to export all the PMs gained and sent as a downloadable .txt file?
(Same could be done for the chat monthly)
