I have run a major forum in the past before I joined here and I felt that private messaging was a major tool that everyone used. Not just to communicate and avoid off topic discussions, but to build meaningful connections with other members. On a forum like this in particular, I feel like building meaningful connections is why everyone sticks around here for so long and why the conversations can become very rich and detailed.

So, pray tell, why is there no PM system, and can we expect to ever see one?

Yes, that's what I was thinking. It's nice without it so the drama, and the he said, she said, can be minimized.

It seems like people decide what's what, without having a need for PM's. I know I've experienced that.

Hey I said minimize teasel, not completely eliminate.

Dramas happen once in awhile, it's a given on a forum.

Friend me. My name is Ami so you will see me in the group.I don't know yours or I would send you a friend request!

Sure I can do that. I'll see if I can find you. I didn't know there was a group, just a fan page. I guess that will allow for contact with other members then, that would surely be useful. Just might be difficult to figure out who is who.

My name is Pieter, so that you'll recognize it.

I think this service is *essenetial* and as long as you can block members who become pestering, i don't see what the problem is..

Fair enough. I can see how it would, but nevertheless I personally think it's worth having. If people caused drama on the forum I ran we just gave them the boot!

So do I, it shouldn't mean extra work for Mods

Yeah, I can see that. I remembered talk of spammers via PM on another board, although people were more amused than anything.
