There are some of us that no longer empty out their PM box, others that don't contribute or posts on the board (not even in the lounge).

When you try to send a PM to certain individuals, you receive a message that says:

"******* has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space"

I recall a post from FRED about 3 years ago that stated basically if you weren't posting at least 3 times a month, or a week (can remember exactly), you'd lose your rights to be on this board.

There are some members that haven't posted since the winter.......... They're not emptying out their pm box.

Now, I don't think they should be banned or suspended, but maybe their accounts should be closed. If they ever wish to resubscribe to TERB and once again become active members, they can send something to Fred or one of the mods asking for their accounts to be re-activated.

Any thoughts on this.....................

Why?
Who really cares?

I guess that's one way of looking at it. My feelings, I think TERB is a great board. I have learned quite alot from many of the posters and its not just about where to get the best lay or where and who to stay away from.

Fred put this quota thing in place about three years ago for a reason. I agreed (as all of us did) to make an effort to posts at least 5 times a month.

A poster's status is shown if he or she has been banned, why not include those that haven't been active for 3 or more months.

Its kinda like people at work not updating their voicemail or email to say that they are on vacation. It happens every summer and it pisses me off. I try for 4-5 days to get ahold of them and finally find out that they are away on vacation. They haven't got enough common courtesy to spend 2 minutes putting some kind of a vacation rule on their email or a message on their business line to say that they are on vacation (or away) and not expected back until .........

Why do you care? Seriously, don't you have better things to be thinking about?
 
The ladies get some business from the guys who are members but don’t post. So, eliminating these members would not be in terb's customers' best interests.

Deleting nics that have not been accesses in 2 - 4 months might be ok.
 
I do not post as often as I used to either
 
Maybe automatically emptying full PM inboxes that haven't been looked at in months would be a better way to regain storage for Fred than removing the option to automatically save your sent items, as he did recently.

I like to have a record of what I send out, at least until I get a reply (or not), and have not yet got used to having to click 'save to sent folder' every fricken time. My current pet peeve with TERB.

Is this what happen, I must have missed that Announcement by Fred or one of the Mods.

I sent something out about 3 weeks ago and noticed the number of PMs in my mailbox didn't change. It got me thinking that my pm hadn't gone......

i hear ya viewer i keep forgetting to click it too it's a pain in the ass expecially with me i'm old and forget what dirty things i promise guys lol
 
If there was an announcement, I missed it for sure.

The first time I noticed it, I sent a poor SP the same PM three times in a row, since I thought it hadn't gone through -- PM count didn't change.
