To be used whenever you try to PM someone and you can't because they have too many PMs!
I try to keep mine right at 58 or 59, but it is hard, becuase I have kept so many I can't part with over the years (most of which are about various writing/art projects here on LW).

Tch. I can't believe it took so long for the obligatory PMS joke to show up. You slackers.
Incidentally, I'm having one of my quasi-annual, disorganized, attempt-to-get-organized-by-chucking-out-random-unnecessary-things days. (Anything to avoid another look at the job listings, right?) I found an old copy of Jack Kirby's Battle For A 3-D World, still with the glasses and everything. If anybody wants it, PM me. (No charge, unless you have to have it sent by Priority Mail or something.)
(For the life of me, I couldn't think of where else to place this. If you want it somewhere else, Mods, you know what to do.)
-------------------- Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on flickr. Drop by and tell me that I sent you.

Bah! I PMed Abin this morning with like 5 paragraphs and it totally didn't go through, so when I 'back buttoned' it, it was gone. I'll never remember what poetic words I spoke!
My most cherished PM is the one from Nighty welcoming me from Legion World!

I have one saved that I'll never delete. It's from art regarding a chat that was happening at the time.

Hello Everyone, My name is Sketch Lad... and I'm a PM hoarder! Well!... I might use those PMs some day! I know as soon as I delete one, I'll wish I had the valuable information it contained.
quote:Originally posted by Thriftshop Debutante: Does anyone have good suggestions re: old PMs, such as how to save them on your computer as a document or web page or whatever?
Instructions appreciated (if appropriate).
I've saved several in the past where I've had long conversations on Legion ideas or LMB ideas (with Lardy, Reboot), etc. A minor worry is that even though they're on a computer, I really should have them saved somewhere else too, as a back-up.
I just used the internet browser 'save as' function at the top right. They basically save exactly how they look when you're logged in except avatars, graemlins and links are no longer there.
When I save threads, the problem used to be saving them when there were multiple pages because the links to pages wouldn't work. So at the bottom left of the thread if you put it in 'printer-friendly view of this topic' and then save it, it captures the whole thread in its entirey, sans avatars.

Isn't this thread just going to end up as "the ALL-"CLEAR YOUR PMs Cobalt Kid"!!!! thread"?
Like several other people in this thread, I'm a PM hoarder and have PMs going back to 2003 that I'm reluctant to delete. I *think* the only ones I've saved to my PC are the 21CL-related ones with Cobalt, iB, etc though.
