Zero.

I read them all when I get them. I thought that's what everyone did.....
I don't know. I guess there are people that just don't bother. Maybe it is a one-way social thing, people talk and blurt out whatever to everybody, but don't answer back to everybody else.
It's what I do. What kind of silly bugger just lets the unknown qualms and quandaries of others pertaining to them sit there, forever taunting them?
No, I didn't mean that I didn't ever look at messages. I was just stating what I guess some users do, not look at and not answer messages.

You were probably just agreeing with me on what I guessed. But sometimes with how people word things, it sometimes confuses me. As an English graduate, I tend to see order problems and with such things it is hard to figure out the actual order of which statement was replying to which parts of my comment.

Though, it could also be that I need get some sleep.

I normally have 2 but non now and not getting any messages makes me feel quite sad (I am on the escapist at least twice a day).

Ditto. Replying to a message as soon as you can shows that you respect the users here, IMO. Plus, it's hard to ignore the alert too, it's red and flashing and everything.

Zero it's very rare that I get messaged for any reason *sigh*
I'm guessing because you mostly lurk, right? Start posting more and the quote alerts will just flood in. :)
yep it's because I use the browser on my PS3 so typing actually takes quite a long time lol.

I just leave it at five, because those ones are unimportant. and I can't be bothered reading them. As it is, whenever I get 6+, I immediately charge to my inbox and bring the total back down.

I've got nil.

Sorry, but I really don't need to get a message every time someone says something in a User Group I'm in. I really don't.

0, because I remember to only activate notifications for things I would like to read and I read them strait away.

I prefer to see Messages (0), because 9 times out of 10 a new message is the mods putting me on probation again because they have no sense of humor. A little trolling and e-fighting adds spice to any forum, so long as it doesn't get out-of-control.
Well then maybe you should learn to stop doing it? Calling mac users pretentious is a fine reason for you to be put on probation.

Zero. I check my messages as soon as I see I have them. If ever there is more than one message in my inbox, it's a rare occasion. One day I woke up with 5 in my inbox and had a small panic attack. That was one wild day.

I joined the Team Fortress 2 Group, forgetting to uncheck the boxes for messages, woke up the next day and had 452 unread messages. I immediately hunted down the settings after realising every message was just telling me someone had posted on the group forums. These messages plagued my inbox until I finally found how to remove a page at a time. Still took me 20 minutes....
Same, first few days I was memeber of the TF2 group I had 300 messages each day xD
Had to turn of the notification for when someone said something, only getting messages if news or someone messaged me xD

Currently none though atm ;)

Zero. Perhaps you need to turn off your User Group notifications, my friend.
I learnt this the hard way. Lost the internet for two days, came back and had 300+ unread messages.

None. I read all I get, ASAP, because seeing the "1 new message" thing cheers me up immensely :p The reason it cheers me up so much might be because I don't usually receive new messages. I do not recieve chat notifications from user groups as I always turn that off. Only News posts, quotes and group alerts are on however.

So yeah, no "spam" and I know when I get new messages by the sudden red color at the "no/new message(s)" thing.

Freaking FINALLY! For the first time in over a year, I do not have any new messages in my inbox, unread news posts from groups, or unread quoted messages. At times over the previous 12+ months, I had over 200 new messages and still had over 100 after the Escapist automatically deleted every message that was greater than a month old. I am disproportionately ecstatic about this, as I am sure you can tell. I glanced over the search bar results and found nothing, so if there is a similar thread out there, I apologize.

Messages (0). Good feeling.

Anyway, question time: How many new messages do you have? 6? 16? 60? 600?
Here's a tip: Uncheck the little box that says "Receive chat messages from this group". The only time you need it is if you're the group owner and the group doesn't have an absurd (see: batshit insane to the point where all conversations are held with precognition) amount of chat. Otherwise, stop posting so much and people will stop quoting you so much.
Yeah, I know about that. I only receive chat messages from groups that I actively participate in.

I know it seems like I'm bitching but I like getting a lot of messages. It's just that I'm so rarely at 0, making it kind of a special moment. Hell, the more quoted messages, the better. I LOVE getting quoted.

Same answer.

You were the first, but two more people did so after you.

It was oh so tempting, but I can only imagine the hate the counter message would contain.
No hate. In fact I sent out lols and smileys back.
