    Hi, i was wondering if you could increase the limit of limit of number of pms for people on dp from 1000 messages to 2000? My box fills up so quick and sometimes there are important messages that you don't want to delete. So is it possible? if so that wud be awesome!!!!:D

    wat do you guys think??:)

    I highly doubt there going to do that
    1k is enough. You don't need to keep anything close to 1k PM's that are important
    How do you even keep track of 500?

    Why don't you copy the improtant pm's to notepad?
    Thats what I do and it doesn't take that long to do.

    If you're not paranoid and don't believe in conspiracy theories, you can always use Google Notebook. It's handy to have in a browser window for copying notes, and you can fetch the info from any machine connected to the Internet. http://www.google.com/notebook

    It would be a waste of space for DP to increase the limit. 1000 is more than enough and like the person above asked; why not just copy your messages to word or notepad? You can keep an unlimited amount of messages that way.

    just out of question, if i buy a site on dp for example, i would prefer to keep the message on the pm box, as a proof, because if i put them on notepad, people might think its fake?

    I can see your concern but I find it hard to believe that you will be needing to keep over 1000 PMs to prove transactions. Once the transaction is complete and you are all set up for a couple of weeks or even a month, it should be fine to move it to word or notepad. I do not think many people do more transaction than that a month on DP.

    If you really do that many transactions, I would recommend getting another hard drive and backing everything up on that :D

    It has been suggested before. It is highly unlikely to happen. Remember DP is a free community open to all who abide by the rules.

    They are deleted anyway after a certain point, so keeping them in your PM box isn't the best idea to keep something as "proof" indefinitely.

    I believe that if you donate $50 , your PM limit goes up to 1500.
