This account is dead and useless - it is only used to gain 10 EXP. The account NGReviewEater is what I use the most so go there for latest updates. Don't expect anything here.

PM Box Experiment

Posted by SuperMarioBrosS - October 17th, 2010

It is defined that 1 PM can have a maximum message size of 6 KB. So how much storage space, in terms of KB, does a user's PM inbox have?

It used to be 1 MB, but I think they decreased that. I'm not sure though, so let's see.

SPAM THIS INBOX:

http://www.newgrounds.com/pm/send/veno mpwns

In the subject of the PM, spam MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM until the subject is full, and spam the body with MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM until 0 characters remain. Then hit the send button.

Repeat until you get the unread limit error (which is 10 unread PMs).

EDIT: Cleared out the PMs (read them all), so anyone who has hit the error can now send 10 more.

You spammed: 0 PMs

Oh wait you have that bandwidth cap... but even so spamming is UPLOADING data so it shouldn't be deducted... or maybe I'm stupid.

Isn't Venompwns chillbro's old ass alt, and isn't chillbro your friend?

SuperMarioBrosS 2010-10-17 15:29:03

Yeah it's chillbro's alt, but he gave me the password for it (and another one of his alts as well) for this experiment, and because I need more Dumping Grounds space.

And yes chillbro is my friend.

Error - Your message was 6,145 characters long, which is more than our maximum length of 6 characters. lolwtf

SuperMarioBrosS 2010-10-17 16:13:14 (Updated 2010-10-18 16:02:15)

Wait WTF?

BRB trying to get that error message.

EDIT: Wow you weren't kidding about that...

LuckyHeart 2010-10-17 16:39:21

I did it! :D

SuperMarioBrosS 2010-10-17 16:39:21

Thanks!

I wrote 10 spam messages for your experiment.

SuperMarioBrosS 2010-10-17 16:48:48

I cleared them all (read them all) so you can send 10 more if you're bored.

LuckyHeart 2010-10-17 16:51:46

I wrote 10 spam messages to venompwns for your experiment, SuperMarioBrosS.

SuperMarioBrosS 2010-10-17 16:51:46

I saw when I logged in as venompwns.

the total size is about 2MB split between your inbox and your sent box. Tom mentioned that when he announced the sent box

According to the experiment AWHILE ago...

http://ngrevieweater.newgrounds.c om/news/post/453660

A PM inbox could hold up to 177 PM messages (with accounting some glitch I discovered in the PM system), each message fully spammed. Multiply that by 6 KB and that yields 1,062 KB (slightly over 1 MB). In reality it exceeds 1,062 KB due to HTML coding, but I won't go too far with that.

There also was 0 sent messages in that sentbox, so my hypothesis is that the sent box space is infinite (and the space is still 1 MB), though I could be wrong with that. That is my next experiment... determining the sent box space. It could be a 1 MB : 1 MB to inbox : sentbox ratio.
