Do you get private messages?

666

Battlebus imprisoning me \m/ >.< \m/
In my time here at GAF I have recieved 1 (one) private message in 3 years.

Do you guys get more? On old forums years ago it was a more common thing, but nowadays it doesn't seem to be used much.

I have gotten a few and they have always been great. The folks were really nice to message with. I get maybe 1 or 2 every 5 or 6 months. Definitely not lots, but that's ok.
 
Yes, dozen or more. Mostly people asking for advice on some sex stuff.
And I try to help as best I can.

Just replied via private message
 
I get some here and there. Less so these days but if someone wants to continue to talk about something from a thread then I'm generally open to it. I haven't been as active on here the past couple months so apologies to anyone who has sent me one recently that I've not replied to.

Looking there I'm at a bit over 400 message threads over the years I've been on here.

They were more popular when anonymous chat rooms were limited to mIRC. Now that Discord is popular, people get out their chattiness elsewhere and there isn't a need on forums. This is also diminished due to forum quote functions massively improving and spoiler and notification functions being introduced, allowing a smooth direction of particular comments that won't get lost in the mix.
 
Lol yeah I remember. You got really upset when I posted GTA6 being delayed as an Aprils fools joke and tried to apologize lol

When I got the apology DM from you, it was just a picture of your balls with a caption "apologize to deez nuts"

I have 29 pages of Direct Messages, I use to buy/sell on the selling thread back in the days here, my last message is from 2018 tho.
 
Yes, rarely, and it's typically been to go into even more niche rabbit holes on a topic after commenting with each other in a thread so not to derail.
