Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 413  | 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.  | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA   | 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.

| 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
