Understandable.
It just seems that there's an inordinate amount of resistance to the change simply because it's something new, and possibly the slightest bit superfluous.

This system is stupid and clunky and just a poor idea if it's going to replace the traditional PM system like it already has now. Wasn't MsgBox already there already? Anyway, why do away with something that works fine to replace it with something the vast majority didn't even want that is full of bugs and just functions poorly inherently? Did anyone even ask for this, or is it just another one of the random projects which you start and then aren't able to fix?

I don't like anything about "MsgBox", from it's layout on up. It's silly and is like throwing away all the kitchen knives for some homemade "electric chopping box" which you made out of salvaged machine parts and filed scrap metal strips in your basement. It serves no advantage, and I wish you would stop trying to replace the features of this site with terrible hair-brain projects.


I also like how you said to "PM" you suggestions, as that's impossible since PM's are currently down in favor of "MsgBox", as you already know. Do you mean "MsgBox" you? You are never even able to fix the bugs you're pm'ed about in your own projects anyway.

How can you guys complain when it's essentially the same thing, but easier to use in that it's threaded and better in that it allows for multiple recipients. Sure, stuff like secure PMs aren't doable yet, but Sell Your Soul is working on it.

I find it hard to read whose involved in the messages compared to the old version. (However I am on a phone)
The whole format in general is just less intuitive for me, and I would really like to have the option between the two

The only problem with messagebox with me is when I go to preview a post and then send it, it only ends up sending like a small portion of the whole message

I don't have this problem when I don't preview it first

Neither of those features appeal to me at all, really, but I can live with them.  If SYS can format the inbox/interface to be more like the old PM system then it will be perfectly fine.  I appreciate that you are essentially playing Andy's advocating parrot who has no concept of differing opinions, kind of just like him.

I don't understand why both systems can't coincide with each other. I feel like the new "MsgBox" has potential, but releasing it while it's still in development doesn't make any sense to me, along with the majority of Andy's decisions.

Exactly, MsgBox can be its own thing. There can be a MsgBox link and and Private Message link, LIKE THERE ALREADY IS! Pretty novel idea, huh? All they have to do is put the PM system that was here since 1998 back up so everyone isn't forced to used Andy's shitty MsgBox feature that he's not even finished with. I don't know why Andy decided to do that, besides making people have to pay attention to the feature since they didn't care about or want it and hadn't bothered paying attention to it until they were forced to.

Andy just needs to learn how to hype shit up and market new features, and then he won't have to break the forum to get people to pay attention. Or, he could also even iron out the bugs in his previous projects before starting new ones. That also may help people care about his work and put stock in his ideas. Let's do stuff the smart way

It's beyond stupid.  Why on earth would we want threading in a pm system?  People are used to emails without threading, so why is it so important here?  Unless you're trying to make it like text messages on a phone, but even those are threaded by sender/receiver, not by subject.  It's retarded as fuck.

Adding the option to send a PM to multiple people is something that could be done to the old PM system without creating this Frankenstein system of private forums.

In addition, I see real security issues with this.  Someone send a message to several people and suddenly every reply gets sent to everyone, when the replying person might think he is only replying to the one dude.  It's all kinds of fucked up.

Ultimately, this will only lead to more people resorting to off-site options for private communications....which will only lead to less security for everyone.

Also, google has a team of professionals. We have Andy.
If this was editing his registration date, he would have had it done, with no errors, in a matter of minutes.

GMail uses threading.


The reason threading is useful is because it allows you to see all previous messages in a conversation at a glance without a lot of nested quote boxes. With normal PMs you could quote a few times before you had to leave out the old replies from subsequent messages. If you want to find an old reply after that, you have to look back through the list of messages which are often all called the same thing ("RE: Hi man" or whatever.)

That said, the current implementation doesn't look like it's ready for prime time.

I think Andy has too much time on his hands that he felt he had to fix something that wasn't broken.  Consider the Hippocratic Oath.  "First, do no harm."

That's just one of the reasons Gmail blows.  Lets not adopt the shitty parts of other sites.

For real, at the very least it should be removed until it's fully functional. Even then, still seems kind of pointless.:shrug:
