I'm going to run a cleanup of Private Messages in the Database. There are literaly 100,000+ messages in the DB going back 15 years. So I'm going to run a cleanup this weekend which will purge all the old ones and basically enforce the rule that it will only keep max of 30 PMs. So if you already have 30 and get another, then the oldest is automatically deleted. PMs are meant for quicky transient messages and not long term storage. There is a new option where you can forward a PM to your email. So anything you want to save going forward, I would recommend you use that. Just trying to cleanup the database as their is alot of old data like this that has never been cleaned up properly. Cleaning this up, helps make everything faster as it less data to parse through. So this is your heads up to save off anything in the PMs that you want to save permanently. I'm going to run the cleanup sometime this coming weekend. If you cleanup your PMs so you have less than 30, the nothing further should get deleted as your account will be below the max.

Thanks everyone!
