0 right now. I read any messages that I get right away and the only time they really build up is when I haven't been to the Escapist for a bit. Of course this is with most of my group chat notifications on off, otherwise I'd be flooded with messages that weren't about me. Not one. Because for some stupid reason I don't get notified if the message is directed at me. Harumph!

0, I always read new messages because that means I may have been quoted, and my ego needs to be quoted constantly, it validates me as a person and... dear god I am a sad individual.
Congratulations! You've been quoted!
Yeah I'm the same way, I get pretty excited and proud for myself whenever I'm quoted. Mainly because my ego doesn't get a lot of attention and so gets overexcited about little stuff like that.

None. The only messages I get are quotes for me to reply to, and those happen only rarely.

I haven't had any new messages in the last few days.

It's been a slow week for my witty quotable comments.

I always read (and normally delete) any and all messages I receive, the moment I get them.

I don't see why anyone would do it differently. After all; you have a message. It's supposed to be read. That's what messages are for.

I have 478 messages in the trash section though, if that was what you were asking (apparently, a lot of the older messages have been deleted from the trash section as well).

I'm currently sitting at 21 messages, all from a couple of usergroups that I didn't turn chat notifications off on because they seemed to be slow. Well, they're still slow compared to the other groups I'm a member of, but it builds up. I guess I should turn off the notifications on those two as well...

When I first come on the Escapist in the morning I make sure to read all my messages. Then I just read messages right as I get them. Never have more than 3 or so anyway.

You...pretty much summed it up for me. So...who's buying the first round?

Who doesn't read their messages? It's so much easier to figure out when somebody is trying to have a discussion/argument with you when it appears in your inbox.

You know when you get he green 'new' symbol when you unlock things in Call of Duty? I have to get rid of them.

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?
i have 5. now you have 1

Just thought I'd give you a new one ^_^

I had round about 2.4 thousand at one point, due to the fact I was in a few user groups and had turned all message alerts on, it took almost no time for them to build up.

yep...
How in the hell do you have so many? Do you join groups like PRIATE, The Asylum, Zero Punctuation Fans, et al and leave all notifications on?
