Deleting private messages on the downs.

I have no use for that paper telephone or werewolf message, yet it hurts every time i delete one.

Not to speak of the anguish if i remove an old pm from a long since inactive member...

In this aspect I am a hoarder and always have a total of at least 19 messages lying around.

Isildur Curses.

I recently succumbed to the Isildur Curse by playing around with the Stone of Erech - that is, I meant the User CP. I decided it's time to update the prehistoric email I had registered to a legitimate one, and - well, I turned into a ghost (ie I still could log in, but I could not post or do anything else). It was very scary.

Moral of the story, kids: don't play with Erech stones, don't try to fix what isn't broken, and most importantly, check the spam folders of your emails for BD messages containing simple instructions for resurrection back to life- that is, back to death.

I found a way around that. I send a PM to myself, with quotes containing the PMs I do not want to part with. Clears up space without losing the info. Have a dozen for the price of one!



It feels so good to be able to post again!

Now that's true a life hack.

I tip my hat to you.

Why I’ll never update my email even if I haven’t used the one I signed up with since middle school early high school latest.
