Been a member here for a decade now and have over 2000 posts.
And yet I am limited to just 10 PM's?? Not only just 10 but that's coming in and going out. They all count. Come on folks (OSO) take a step into the 2000's at least even thought it's 2015.
And please don't tell me become a premium member. I've owned and run a few forums over the years and IMHO form what I see pop up on every page OSO is not hurting for money. Also if it wasn't for members like me there would be no OSO so how about throwing us a bone.

Yup,,just another way to strong arm people into paying for "premium" membership..
I have paid in the past and was one of the lucky ones to actually recieve the tshirt
thats supposed to come with it just a little tighter on money now..

If you are too cheap to pay, then simply clean out your PM folders more frequently.

Agreed.

I am frequent on another form as well (cars) and I pay them as well. God forbid you have to toss a one time a year fee at something you use daily and enjoy.

First good laugh of my day, thank you.

It's not even me even though I wouldn't have minded keeping a few PM's from a couple boating living legends that happened to pm me over the years. How many times have you PM'ed someone then it comes back because they have a full box? Most don't even know they are not getting them and not a single other forum I have been on does this. Maybe some minor limitations when you first join.
How about this. A notice you box is full.

Is the email you signed up with still correct? Maybe you are missing the notices?

I'm not paying. OSO should pay me for my contributions to the site.

you are a wealth of knowledge kurt

Haha! Thank you, glad to be appreciated!
