Vendzilla · 11-10-2011, 04:00 PM

Yeah that sounds like a problem waiting to happen

LeRoy · 11-10-2011, 04:02 PM

fuck that! use the board as your message system like everyone else

Waiter · 11-10-2011, 04:03 PM

sounds like a good idea ...

baddog · 11-10-2011, 04:10 PM

Absolutely not . . . . not that there is any chance of it happening.

CyberHustler · 11-10-2011, 04:12 PM

Why not though? Any reasons?

blackmonsters · 11-10-2011, 04:15 PM

Yeah right.

That way people can start a thread bitching about how someone didn't respond to their PM.

CyberHustler · 11-10-2011, 04:16 PM

heaven forbid that shit happens... could shake the whole industry to it's core

fuck no! can you imagine the spam you would get from idiot affiliate managers and douche bags wanting to trade links?

if you want to get a hold of me email. if you cant figure out my email, then stay the fuck off the internet

B.Barnato · 11-10-2011, 04:25 PM

No. We are all one big happy family and do not need to keep things private.

djroof · 11-10-2011, 04:43 PM

Because it would slow down the board. Email works well enough for private conversations.

Tempest · 11-10-2011, 05:19 PM

Yes they should... Don't buy the spam/resource argument. Plenty of large boards out there that handle it just fine.

FlexxAeon · 11-10-2011, 05:21 PM

yeah right. scam city

Really? What big board has it that does not deal with spam? I can't think of one that I don't get spammed on.

And to say it would not be resource intensive is

Much larger boards handle this with no problems and PM's are damn near a necessity when conducting business if you don't want to turn your personal computer into an ICQ / AIM / MSN / Skype machine.

VBulletin has a plugin for user ratings that is very effective as well. Whatever reason GFY has decided to stick with 2003 technology is not a good one.

Very little to none if the captains of the ship take care of business.

alias · 11-10-2011, 06:04 PM

Never going to happen, use email etc.

Jakez · 11-10-2011, 06:08 PM

There's really no reason that they shouldn't have it. At least not any reason that can't be dealt with. But not having makes the post and thread count higher so..

Konda · 11-10-2011, 06:13 PM

People that want to be contacted have their email and/or icq in their sig.

The rest obviously doesn't want to be contacted.

If they'd enable PM all the annoying affiliate reps would spam the hell out of you if you make some post where you say you have traffic or can send sales.

NOT a good idea at all.

Pretty sure vBulletin has a way to let members turn their PMing off?

I did not say they don't have to deal with spam.. I said they handle it... Nor did I say it wouldn't increase resource usage... Again.. Bigger boards than this one handle it just fine. Bigger boards than this one don't have the crazy limitations on search either.

brassmonkey · 11-10-2011, 07:28 PM

only to green and red members yes

Fat Panda · 11-10-2011, 07:40 PM

search rarely works much less a PM system

ColBigBalls · 11-10-2011, 07:51 PM

Text messages are for takling GFY is for name callling.

Mr Pheer · 11-10-2011, 07:53 PM

This is the only adult forum I'm on, and its also the only forum I'm on that doesnt have PM enabled.

FlexxAeon · 11-10-2011, 07:54 PM

And furthermore.......

Anything I have to say that should be "private"' this is one of the last places I'd trust with sensitive info

But GFY has the issues they have. There is no way I would want a PM system until they made regular things work.

ColBigBalls · 11-10-2011, 09:19 PM

Wait what ICQ what?

Paul Markham · 11-11-2011, 01:27 AM

Yes.

Just make it optional so those that want it can have it and those that don't can refuse it. Also block certain people sending you a message. Spamming is a reason for the ban hammer to come crashing down.

Then all sides are happy.

Spam happens anyway, with or without pm's. In topics, emails in sigs and icq. Pm spam can be stopped by disabling pm's in your profile or blocking users. Same as the public part of the forum or profile comments, no difference. As long as nobody can mass pm, spamming wouldn't even be a minor issue. And if you limited the feature to just green nicks and up, it would be even less of an issue. The spam excuse makes no sense. The resources excuse actually makes sense, but is a shame since more active boards than this have no resource issues 'cause they upgrade hosting when needed. IMO.
