Implement PMs already

[cidbahamut]

Why is there still no private messaging system on this forum?

It's 2011, get with the program. Forums have private messaging systems.

[Dalorian]

Definitely agree.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

It's not "that kind" of forum.

[cidbahamut]

You mean one created after the 90s?

Private Messaging systems are pretty basic functionality and come standard everywhere for good reason.

It wouldn't even be difficult seeing as how this forum is built on top of vBulletin.

Except this forum wasn't created for you to chit-chat amongst yourselves, it was provided as a venue for feedback.

You realize that doesn't really change anything, right?

So you're saying that SE needs to take up their time and resources to add a means for people to talk amongst themselves just because it's on the net and other systems let you do it regardless of what the system is meant for to begin with?

Yes.

Superfluous+1text lolol

EDIT: But if they added PMs to the forums, how would you raise your post count with three letter and/or off topic posts :'(

[Razushu]

Yes.

I love how even though you edited this and added more than enough characters, you kept in the superflous text. I like your style.

On topic PMs are unnecessary, and would be very likely open to abuse.

That's just how I roll.

But in all seriousness, some people are in need of some abuse, they don't realise how stupid/stuckup/arrogant/elitist POS's they really are. If I wanted to abide by the forum rules, and tell this person what I think of them, i'd have to take it to pm or risk the chance of getting an unjust slap on the wrist from the lolmods.
