For every 500 post you do, you get 50 more pm space? What do you think?:marchmellow:

I don't think theres an automation program out there...thats why I chose such a high post count because I will have to manually do it myself. Or you guys rather see another contest and the winner gets 1000 pm space? Im open to ideas.

I think you should have TOTAL POSTS, and then increase it for EVERYONE. Easier for you, imagine if you get to having a ton of members, it wont be fun changing manually.

I don't think it will make anyone want to post anymore then they do. I think it would be nicer to just give everyone more space considering how small space they take up in the datebase anyways and make the forum more friendly to everyone.

50 posts for 10 extra is better
so 250 post for 50 extra space...that doesnt sound too bad

also make it where we can post more than 4 pics to a post please
I thought I got this accomplished. Can you double check?

agree, but Im not sure if I will do this for long. Just a limited time thing for the OGs of socalireefs.

PM box???? I have oneof those???? ;)
haha dont you rather have 2???by having twice the space?

i mean its up to you of coarse, but i just don't see people thinking "ohh cool, lets post an extra 200 times so I don't have to press select all delete. I wouldn't think anyone would put any EXTRA effort into it. It might be a nice tiny bonus so its not as annoying, but why not just make it not annoying in the first place? :p

Also if you want to go ahead and do it, you should be able to do it automatic.

Say like you want to it it every 100 gives you 10, then what you have to do is make a new membergroup for having 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 and 1000 posts, and change the permissions for each member group for how many PMs they can have.

Well I just assume you can do it with vB, personally, I have only used vB for a limited amount of time and hated it so I don't remember a lot of it.

I was thinking more along the line of a bonus thing. I wasn't hoping people would post more because of it. Well maybe a little.:laugh: I always thought 50 pm was the standard. It wouldnt be a lot of space now but imagine 2-3 k members later on?
Im still familiarizing myself with vbulletin. What you said definitely sounds like it could be done. Thanks


But for now. Its for every 250 post you do, you get 50 more pms:D The more active you are on this forum, the bigger the pm you need right?

its probably not any more then 1k unless there are attachments. and those can be deleted anyways. and once the forum gets big enough for that many members you will be on a VPS that'll come with a 20 or 40GB harddrive and then it wont matter anymore anyways.

A lot of shared hosts give you "unlimited" MySQL database space anyways.(I'm assuming your using MySQL)

I know it can be done with SMF, and IPB, so I just have to assume vB wouldn't be missing something like that.
