Re: Deleting Messages

The explanation is pretty much that it slows down the server if you keep too many of them.

Re: Deleting Messages

It's funny because I only delete my messages after I reach 20,000  tongue  I just like to keep the records, so I guess you could save messages up.

Re: Deleting Messages

It does save a lot of space to delete them from the database, especially if you get a lot.

Like 20,000? Do you think the server will run much quicker?  tongue

Probably not if it's just one person, but if everybody had 20,000 messages and then deleted them it would increase dramatically.

Re: Deleting Messages

It slows down the Scratch Server making it unpleasant for all of us.

Re: Deleting Messages

I'm sure you could probably get pretty high up on messages because if I can have this much, then you could probably get about 1,000 at least  smile
