Thread: PM limits. BACK UP YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES TO A THREAD!

This is not a drill. On January 27th, I will be enstating a 700 PM limit for ALL users that are not site contributors in some fashion. Being over the limit will freeze receiving PMs until you clean out your box. Heavy PM RPers may want to start saving PMs To a thread? and transferring some of their roleplays To a thread? -Trygon ---- Depending on how some tests go, we may do a winching down instead of just tossing the limit on people, but it may go well below 700. Anyway, How Do I Keep Unlimited Private Messages on Blue Moon? 1 A one-time donation of 25 or more will get you the supporter tag for good. Send me a PM for how to donate via Paypal. Once you are a supporter, you are in for good, unlike the other titles. Elliquiy donations will count. If you've donated 25 or more to Elliquiy and want recognition here, let me know See the support thread for Blue Moon's costs. 2 Be one of the top twelve posters. Admins and supporters are not counted for determining the top twelve. Thus, ifwhen a top twelve member donates, another spot will open up. Otherwise, if you usurp the 12 spot, their privileges are lost. Some of you have enough of a PM archive that you could shake this up rather quickly. 3 Be a recruiter. Simply, meet a target for bringing people into Blue Moon, each month . This gives you the perks while you are bringing people in and making with the linkage. Once that stops, you lose the perks. The threshold for what qualifies will be determined by Trygon. 4 Be on the welcoming committee. Currently, some recruiters who are having trouble meeting quota are going into this group. Again, Trygon's whim. It is also not permanent - stop welcoming people, lose the perks. 5 Be a staff member. This is more stable than recruiting, welcoming or mass posting, but losing staff privileges for whatever reason also means losing this perk. There are additional perks to being such a member and more will be added over time. We won't interfere with people's ability to play, but there is a VIP forum, and hiding is now for privileged members only. ---- I just did some queries. Blue Moon 512 posts per day. Lunar Radiance 481 posts per day. Lunar Radiance catching up? Lunar Radiance 182 private messages per day. Blue Moon 1,643 private messages per day. Elliquiy barely gets that many. More to the point, though, I wanted this place to be more er, opposite of Elliquiy. Not so much hidden, more to be laid bare to see. mysql select username, countmsgid as count from phpbbusers INNER JOIN phpbbprivmsgs ON useridauthorid GROUP BY authorid ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 100 ---------------------------- username count ---------------------------- Zennarion 8811 RobBase086 6014 Candira 5834 angelduskgirlcat 5665 FancyBrat 5171 CutePhoenix 5089 LunarDysis 4923 NurseK 4823 Distain2003 4362 KradNogard 4280 HKitten 3994 irena 3683 PadanFain 3238 Cheshire Pup 3230 desertpaladin 3198 LucidM 3165 Dream 3132 Mr Master 3128 Kakure 3087 Niki-Gale 3058 lanner 3017 NaoChan 2973 Inari 2931 Lisalou8917 2873 punkjello 2871 Broomhandle45 2751 sballjlb23 2708 Houdini 2700 alzayin2099 2663 Klein 2635 deerpoob 2631 Friendly Alien 2583 KiKi Umara Death 2560 dleibman 2541 subvoyage fan 2535 rohan 2438 Broken Knight 2407 Anansi 2396 1hinata28 2360 Survivor00 2354 richter 2282 MrPenguin 2271 SHIBBY 2227 Nyoko 2195 Luna 2171 Chedder Cheesie 2159 WolfDemon 2093 JMontvale 2063 Lan Moore 1997 OBSCENE 1964 Raiden 1952 Taidon 1938 TheDarkerMe 1901 DudeGuy 1898 Kolath 1896 Waffles 1864 Raziel200480 1857 Intense Napkin 1853 DarknessEmbraced666 1828 Kratos 1821 Futy 1817 PinkSinger 1791 angelicxdream 1778 WINK 1750 SSlave 1746 temptedkitsune 1743 Yenpointfive 1735 Raziel99 1729 Misha Hiroki 1715 Kotep 1707 RaynChain 1701 kikora 1632 vampire seduction 1601 Fiye 1588 psych80 1582 sweetnecter 1572 Nowfaleena 1571 Crystalfox 1565 Revan Leonhart 1533 Azel Stormrose 1529 The King Of Yaoi 1520 Akuma 1520 RenneHakumai 1496 Kaziel 1459 wrath 1458 AutumnDreaming 1457 shadoweclipse 1452 killerkenny 1421 Midnight 1415 EuroMutt 1391 Twilight melody 1390 BlindedByTheLight 1383 StrawberryKiss 1383 SusanJames 1363 vampire07 1354 RussianLullaby 1353 Ulcis God of Chains 1350 Zenia 1347 babygirl67 1331 Dawhiterabbit 1327 ---------------------------- 100 rows in set 1.13 sec Anyway, since Trygon is in charge, he'll be calling the shots regarding this, but I wanted this out here for commentary.
