This edition is dedicated to Pure, whose box is full.

Empty your PM box, Pure, and sin no more.

:rose:
 
No, it's not a typo. The Semaphore "flat" signalling system is an improved version of the old-fashioned flag system.
 
Post a thread addressed to the offender.

E.g: "Jane Doe your PM box is full"

When the problem is sorted out the thread can be hijacked for discussion of sheep or social conditions in Outer Mongolia.

Interestingly, Og, a discussion of sheep and one of Outer Mongolia could be related, couldn't they? Aren't they a wool-dependant society? Or am I thinking of yak hair?
 
Og, please vote in the poll.

These things cannot be scientific if people post to the thread without voting in the poll. I submit the results to several scientific journals and so far none have been accepted.

I never get enough pms for my inbox to be full. As if that weren't bad enough, I just got a pop up saying that I had a pm. Unfortunately, when I opened my pm screen it said that it had been deleted by the sender :(. (I'm guessing someone clicked on the wrong name and didn't realize it until it was already sent.)

Oh well, I guess getting a few pms is better than having my inbox flooded with those *wanna cyber?* type messages.

Ok, I am through whining now. You can go back to your regularly scheduled thread.

What's wrong with loioking them up, buying a plane ticket to wherever they live, knock on their door and kicking their ass?

If you have an answerto that, then I'll vote smoke signals. They are spiffy.
 
Hmmmmmmm

Hey babe wanna cyber? I got a 14 inch P.......*Deleted by sender*..............:D :devil:

I prefer the skywriter thingy myself, much more of an impact than Semaphore. So many people can't read Semaphore, but the whole town will see Mrs Bateman flirts on Literotica and her box is full written in the sky.
 
Speaking of PM's.

For some reason, I haven't been getting notified recently when one of my rare PM's arrives. I was tinkering with my control panel and noticed three of the little things sitting there, ignored and lonely, just waiting to be read. Fortunately, the senders were Pure, the_Bragis, and MathGirl. By now they've learned to expect little from me in the way of talent or reliability.

But seriously folks, has anyone else had this problem or is it another "You done did it again Rumple," solo snafu on my part?

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

ps: yes I checked, and my notification setting was set to "on"

edited 3/5/4: Now it's started working. Who'd a thunk it?

My box gets filled up almost every day. I clean it, and I clean it, and still, I get little messages telling me that my Inbox is too full for my lovely, lovely friends and admirers and loyal su... objects, to write me little love letters.

What did the Mongolians do to make you hate them so?

They don't answer my PMs.

What do you mean "they have to have Lit accounts to do that"?
 
In Outer Mongolia, a landlocked socialist republic bordering China, it is traditional when requesting a PM reply from a neighbor to clean one's PM box. The traditional ceremony, called Kztongc (pronounced just like it's spelled) consists of removing prior messages from the box with a stiff broom of yak-hair.

In certain remote provinces, there is a specific order that must be followed: first one eraces the "sent" messages, and then the "inbox." Care is taken to delete the "messages read" but not the "messages unread" by persons who use Message Tracking.

Until the last century, the failure to clean out one's PM box prior to requesting a PM reply was punishable by banishment. In modern times, it is customary to apologize by delivering a scoop of fermented yak's milk, or by offering one's son as a manservant.
 
Fact: Outer Mongolia has an rate of outward immigration of zero per one thousand population.

Doesn't this prove that Outer Mongolia is a great place to live, and should volunteer to take some spillover from other countries?

Discuss.





Your box is still full. Hints are not working. An airborne military division is next.
 
My Inbox only contained about 10 messages. I checked the Sent Mesages folder - and deleted about 30-40 messages.

Mystery solved.
 
Hi sher,

I didn't notice this poll till today. I voted, and I see the majority likewise take the same 'skywriting' approach!

box partly cleared this morn.

Good work, Shereads,

But why in the name of James G. Blaine (the continental liar from the state of Maine) didn't somebody tell me about this sooner?

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
Shereads--

All this dicking around is a high hoot but the sad fact is your mailbox is full.
