Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason for the strict limit of 50 private messages in both Inbox & Sent Items?
I can't imagine that this restriction is due to a lack of server space - given the vast number of daily posts across all boards on the forums, I should think private messages would be a drop in the ocean as far as space is concerned.
I only raise the question as I find myself needing to go through and delete private messages on a regular basis, which is not a problem I encounter at other forums that I frequent.
