I'll copy and paste.

You have exceeded the limit of 20 personal messages per hour.

So I assume after 7minutes I can send off A PM....although the maths doesn't work out :/

I'm an evil bastard. Just sent this to ATAR.

Dear fellow AN user,

Due to a surplus in the ATARnotes budget this year, you have been randomly selected to receive a $100 gift voucher. Please reply within the next 30 minutes to redeem your prize.

Thank you,
The AN team.

:D :D :D :D :D

And I replied.

"Are you for real (insert shinny's real name)"

Course not :P How did you reply if you're at the PM limit. LIES.
It's called patience. I wait ~7minutes and I'm allowed to send off one PM! The feeling is AMAZING - the satisfaction of being allowed to send off a PM!! :P :P

Pfft, you said it was an hourly threshold. Dammit :P

Unfortunately ATAR, by reaching your hourly limit this many times in one 24 hour time span, you must pay $100 to admin for the strain you cause on the system. So let's just say you and shinny cancel each other out.

That is true - that happens a lot to me as well.

The last posting from your IP was less than 15 seconds ago. Please try again later.

Man thank god there isn't a post limit.

Why can't we send more than 20 PM's an hour?

I just reached it and can't contact burbs babe for highly important MHS discussion (cough *senior social* cough) ::) :P

So the suggestion is clearly to remove this limit.
use msn? 20 PM's is so much

... use msn? 20 PM's is way too much
I quit MSN and not everyone has MSN and not everyone on this site will be willing to divulge their contact details.

Furthermore 20 is nothing in one whole hour.

If you PM say 5 different people you can only have a convo of 2 PM's each. That's nothing.

The fact that you NEED to PM 5 different people means you need to find an alternative form of communication. I suggest IRC.

Who says NEED? Lol what? Just because I have qs about MHS-related items or Psychology....

That statement makes no sense to me at all.

I think your previous comment implied that you contacted 5 people via pm on a regular basis (thus the thread you've made here requesting an increased PM limit)
so he suggested an alternate (and more appropriate) means of communication. :p
Seriously, use msn
