Private Messages

As an admin, do you keep your private messages regarding site issues? I have always thrown them away, but I just realized maybe it's a better idea to keep them on hand if a member wants to challenge something I said in a PM.

Haven't really got a site running on my own yet, but whenever I've installed a board for someone else I always up the limit to 500 so I can store the important ones.

I just download mine in XML format as vB allows. I'll do this when I reach the maximum (1,000 for admins here at AF)...haven't actually done that yet, but am at 890, so will be soone. Once I've downloaded a backup copy, I delete all of them and start with a fresh box.

Now that vB allows you to download them, I delete what I don't need and download the rest. Usually if I have a large site issue it's discused in the admin forum so I don't really need to keep the pm.

I put everyone's PMs at about 2000 and save all of my PMs until I run out of space, once I run out of space I start erasing a few hundred from oldest to newest. Space isn't an issue for me so I let the PM boxes be pretty big.

I just download the PM's, or erase them. I have an administrator area and all of the important posts are there, so I don't usually have anything important in my PM box.

Nope. No need to yet. My members and myself don't use the pm system to much.

I don't really think about keeping or downloading them. Once I have replied to a PM I just leave it there. If I am running out of space I just up my PM box a few thousand, although I haven't got there yet
