What's with the new messages?

I'm just curious of why we have the new messages if nobody ever uses them.

The 0 New Messages part at the top of the screen?

 

I recieve SEVERAL PMs from folks here on the boards. Ranging from requests to questions about the site/boards to propositions to marrage. (Yes, I had one person PM me asking if I wanted to get married. lol)

 

Private Messages here on the boards are a feature that are not as utilized as they COULD be... but they're used. I do not directly read any PMs sent (as they would not be private anymore would they?)... but I do have reports on usage. So far there has been over 5,000 PMs sent though this board since it was first online.

 

But they're a great way of communicating with folks in the forums other than e-mail. And if a moderator pulls a post, or needs to warn someone for something that happens on the board, that information will be passed onto them via a private message.
