Default Personal message limit raised to 100

It's been a few years, and the new server is crazy fast, so I figured you'd like double the space. Enjoy!

I think I just heard my Inbox take a deep breath and exhale in a relaxed manner.

Thank you!

Seems like there´s an underground social network here. To me the limit increase seems pretty unnecessary, unfortunately.

If you mean to the system, it could be worse; I was once on a board with no OTB section or PM system. If you mean the underground social network seems unnecessary to you, I've found it very useful, and not just for my occasional chats with a moderator. I have used PMs to let off steam on more than one occasion, simply because, if I didn't do it in private, I would in public and get banned--or else I'd continue venting to my friends, which means explaining the entire setup of the situation and reminding them who the person I'm venting about even is.

Also, I like your new avatar. It does kind of lose something in that level of compression, though.

Your new avatar makes me think of a funny experience from filmaking camp. We were in a classroom with a copy of that painting on the ceiling, and one kid had never seen it before. He was lying on the floor to do an "up" shot and shouted, all of a sudden "There's a horrible monster up there!"
"What? Where?" We all asked, looking left and right.
"No, on the ceiling!"
Then we saw the ceiling painting and somebody explained how it was by Picasso.

No Gillian. In fact it was a typo. I meant that raising the limit is unnnecessary to me because I´m outta that underground network.

Thanks. In fact, It was meant to be a bit larger, but the system does not allow a width larger than 80 pixels, even if you can make it smaller than 19.5 kb. I´m feeling an urge to celebrate Peace.

Thanks you too, Kai.

Yes! More room in the PM folder with which to spread embarrassing rumors about Argos!

Its been helpful. Had a few questions from topics that were either locked, or were diverted from being driven off into lockable tangents resolved (peacefully) via PM.

Sometimes people have those burning questions that just beg to be answered, and really can't be on the open forum, for which I have no problem at all answering PMs.
