    I have a question that I am sure will get a bit of interest here.

    Are the Private Messages that we send to each other private?

    Don't get mad Shawn, I believe in your integrity, I just want to know from administration here at DP, simple question.

    It's a valid question but, as far as I have ever seen with all the PMs I have sent and received, there is absolutely NO INDICATION of any problems. IMHO.

    They are private... technically the server administrator could get at them in raw form by direct access to the database (just like your mail server administrator could technically read your email). But there is no option in vBulletin for admins to read other people's PMs.

    Trust me, I have enough to do as it is, and my life is interesting enough that I could care less about people's PMs or emails. :)

    Trust me? That is time to worry guy's.

    Well I guess by what Shawn says we can work all kinds of CT's right under his nose here on DP, he will never know by our PM's :D

    CT's are good for business, right Shawn, you have no financial interest to stop them, just don't try to get the inside track on how they unfold here at DP, do you promise? :rolleyes:

    You could plot my own murder in PM here if you want. I can't think of anything what so ever that someone could write to anyone else in PM that would have any interest to me. But if you are worried about it, email them or IM them instead.

    Shawn now I know you love CT's, lets not get TOO sensational here, we would not want to drive your ratings to the sky now. This is not the movies or network TV yet.

    It will be DPTV soon, you better get the name before I do. :D

    Anthony, I guess he didn't read the PM about how you did a $30,000 drug deal then...

    If I were a drug dealer at least I could make some real money! :D

    As far as Shawn reading PM, he does not even have time to read articles I post most of the time, so reading my PM would never happen, or would it SB? :D
