I just realized I have 2,609 PM messages saved up. Damn, I talk alot.
Oddly enough, I have 6,433 received and 5,751 sent.  Yeah, I'd say saving all of the PMs is definitely a huge space issue.

BTW, saving PM's forever may eventually be a thing of the past. We have a few million PMs and there's a very good chance we'll be creating export files of older messages to free up the database.
Yeah, I figured it was only a matter of time.  No other site does this and PMs grow exponentially as the user base increases.

As a workaround, maybe you could only save sent messages or only save received messages to save 50% of the file size.  Every message has a sender and recipient, so saving every message for every user is redundant.  That saves exactly two copies of every message...

Just an optimization idea, but I do agree that saving messages forever is probably not a good long term solution.

Why does it matter? I know your count only goes up with new "traders" but shouldn't you always set up a request...just in case something goes downhill you can still leave the appropriate feedback. I have traded with my best of friends multiple times and always set up a trans request...

Eh, not everyone is OCD.  I've done at least 20-30 transactions and haven't bothered to make feedback for them.  If the buyer has bought from me several times before and doesn't ask, I won't set it up.

But then you are not letting other users and importantly new users know that you and your friends are 100% consistent in their transactions...I would feel a lot better buying from user that has traded 100 times with no problems (even from the same people) than a user traded 1 time with no problems...
But then again, there is always a risk.



Well I have 749 total and 400 unique and I would say there is probably 150 transactions I did not record with people I have bought from multiple times.


on the op I just keep all the pms saved forever so I can just scroll down and see if we have done one before

I agree that it's not really a necessary addition, but it could be a real quick way to see how many times you've done a transaction with someone. ]]> A way to tell who we've had transactions with, and who we haven't http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=56004 2011-09-13T02:09:23 -05.00 Enslaved 18
