Anyone have a guess as to how many comments one can have before it starts kicking out the "mailbox full" reply?

i dont think there are a limit on the amount of comments because when a comment is made on the arc it is just stored on your computer in a txt file, so the limit on how many comments is determined by how much space you have on your HD

Yes but if you're offline when the message is sent, it's stored on the servers (aka your mailbox) until you next log in, and that can become full. I don't know exactly, and it may be based on total size, and not just number of messages. I know I've logged into about 4-5 long /tells and/or feedback messages before.

ah, wasnt 100% sure on how it did it, but yeah, if you play the game frequently i wouldnt worry about it much, heck even if you dont play frequently unless you have a really popular arc or a dev choice

I play frequently enough, but I'm thinking of running a contest that would run at times when I'm offline, too. I don't expect too big a response but was just trying to figure out problems that may arise ahead of time.

Now that I think about it, it's probably based on file size as opposed to # of messages. I guess I could test this by sending tells to friends I know that no longer have active accounts...
