What makes you guys think they 'lost' them instead of just going through and pruning them? That's a HUGE forum. I know I'd probably prune posts...
PMs are just as annoying as emails. In fact, they are almost worse cuz I can't opt out of getting them from Mods/Admins unless I turn off PMs...

I ask them to please clarify what they need help with. Then I usually say that using proper grammar will greatly improve their chances of being...
