I'm not sure where to post this, but since another forum change thread was also posted in this forum, I figured here is as good as any.
I also posted a while back in the private area and never got a response. Can we get a PM increase? For folks who trade and keep PMs as a record (and sometimes as evidence), it really does get hard keeping your PM count down. I'm forever deleting sent PMs, and making sure I quote a big conversation in a reply so that when the response comes in I continue to have a record and can go back and delete earlier PMs.
Is there a reason why the limit is so low? Is there something we can do to get them increased? Perhaps a "supporter" member level, or something that happens when you have X itrader etc?
I know everyone hates the comparison to pokebeach, but I barely trade over there, have 139 messages and am only using 12% of my allotted space. Here?
I of course go back and clean out convos, but there are some PMs you want to keep for various reasons, and as those increase, you start to bump up against that ceiling more and more often.
Here are a listing of reasons why this would make sense:

You have 47 messages stored, of a total 50 allowed.

Here are a listing of reasons why this would make sense:
- Traders PM back and forth often to make a deal and often need to keep PMs to keep track of trades, addresses etc
- Forum games require a lot of back and forth PMing. While moderators and admins have larger boxes, the players do not and can often use much of their space going back and forth with game updates. It's not always feasible to constantly search for uneeded PMs and delete just to receive the next message.
- Saving PMs offline, while possible, is very inconvenient -- especially for those who do a lot of posting from mobile devices (Android, iOS, iPad and other devices with tapatalk installed), where it then becomes fairly impossible
- The 50 limit is fairly small compared to other forums (some smaller) in general and especially in the pokemon community.
