Honestly, does LW even realize how much server space they will save if instead of deleting all messages beyond the limit, they just deleted them as it got full?  When you have 25 messages, everything stays, but the 26th one you receive, but it deletes the oldest one in your inbox thats not saved.  Honestly that would save so much space it'd be mind-boggling... well maybe not that much, but the point is still made.

Replies Themakingofagod Posted at 10:52 pm on July 6, 2008 Well then if they're not worthy, don't save them, and if you reach your storage limit, than the random message you got a month ago from the person you don't even know anymore isn't so important. hithere Posted at 9:39 pm on July 6, 2008 i meant people like to read them more than once. you have a storage limit, and some messages aren't worthy of storage when it comes down to it.

But, as it appears to not be, why bother.  If it ain't broke don't fix it. It doesn't have to be an issue of not having enough space, but everything would run quicker, less chance of freezing up, and I understand where you're coming from, of not to change something that works, but if you can prevent it from breaking by streamlining the process, it doesn't hurt. SLe3piinBeAuTii Posted at 8:38 pm on July 6, 2008 just delete it && qet ovr it... Themakingofagod Posted at 8:37 pm on July 6, 2008 I'm not trying to say that I'm incapable of deleting my own messages, I'm saying that it would be sensible to delete them as they go instead of having massive quantities of messages building up then have to delete them all at once once the day is over. matto Posted at 8:36 pm on July 6, 2008 Perhaps if space was an issue they'd consider recoding all that shit.
