just post all the private messages you've been saving for years. If they are in a thread, they will carry over. I expect Lyndrek to endorse this solution shortly.

I have 23 pages of PM's, but half of them are from 2001, kind of like my post count. I got a lot of AC1 harvestgain history in my PM's.

I have 5 pages of PMs.  I guess I wasn't good enough for Fist to take seriously.
About the only person I exchanged PMs with on a semi-regular basis was Calladon.

I have 10 pages of PM's, 9 of which were sent between 2002 and 2006.
It will be a shame to see them go, and all the old archived posts as well. It's like they are destroying an ancient archeological dig site to build a toilet. Of course, the dig site is actually of an ancient toilet so.....
Still sad thing to see go.

Haha oh, I've got a few good ones, about 15 pages inboud and outbound. (Very few from the Outpost though, I say most everything out on the board here otherwise what's the fun?).
I need to offload some of these before they go poof.
First one I opened: an excellent one from 2002 where I was a TL. I told a VN Mod to stuff it and talk to mythic on a point about the "legality" of dueling, otherwise STFU because I'd already talked to them directly. 
Back when I could molest fellow VN mods. Good times...

I've only got two pages myself, I guess I'm not good at pissing people off on the innertubes, which is strange because I'm pretty good at it IRL.
I do have some cool, if brief conversations in there, but no PMs since 2010.

I have two pages of nothing but mods telling me to stop using profanity and another two of butthurt people I don't even remember telling me how stupid I am.
I do have a couple of gems mixed in there however. Neat how that picture link to that one woman still works after almost 10 years. Wonder what she looks like now?

The first PM I received was back in 2001. Asking what character I played in a text based game, Gemstone III. And that it was nice to see more people converting to the "graphic" based roleplaying games. Gawd, I'm old.

I loved DragonRealms too, and played it for a bit, but Gemstone was always my primary game for several years. I didn't think I would ever stop playing and then along came this game called DAoC.

The only thing that sucked, sometimes, with Gemstone was that you could not attack another player unless you had a "roleplaying" reason and the GMs were VERY subjective as to whether or not you were "roleplaying" when you tried to say:
/hide
wait 3 seconds...
/ambush left leg with claid
[So and so] rolls around on the ground writhing in agony with his mangled left leg. (or something like that)
/point
/laugh
(I had a two handed rogue I LOVED)
In other words, they had their favorites.
So you can imagine the GLORIOUS day when DAoC came along and I discovered I could attack anyone...at will! BEEEEYOOOTIFUL.

I once got flamed by Ken Karl, lead developer of AC2, when I criticized his game. That was epic. I thought I had PM'ed it to someone...

I played GemStone. I had one of the oldest clerics in the game and put more hours into that game than any other, before or since. Played from 1989 to 2002 or so.
Oh, and I have a couple of PM's from archangel as well. Sad he was a Navy guy, but then....I served with a lot of psychopathic jerks in the Navy.

The most epic PM I ever got was on another forum, from Don Murphy, who sent me a PM of a picture of poop in a bowl.
This is the producer of films such as Transformers.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006613/
I had made him very angry in another thread. Considering he was lowered to sending me pm's of poop, I like to think I won.

Aha, I like reading through old PM's. I really pissed some people off back in the day. One guy made an account just to swear at me and another guy, both in PM's and in public.
Another guy once offered to buy my VN account, because he didn't want to waste time posting to get the big number and stars next to his name.
Then there's all the guild drama from AC1 and DAoC...

I once had an altercation with a poster who was posting from NASA.
I responded with "well if you're an example of a NASA employee it's no wonder the mars mission crashed." (Right about the time that mars mission crashed into mars because of a conversion failure.)
