It seems to me that it would be useful to include a way to leave a message for particular user that goes to a message inbox for them, which they can check and be notified of when they log on, or when they recieve the message.

There is a system for that. I call it "e-mail".
If you want your email publically accessible so people can "contact" you personally, there's an option for that in your user profile.

It just seems more convenient to do it this way for quick messages so, for one, you don't have to give out your email, and two it's faster to leave a quick note. But it's up to you. I saw it in another forum, and thought it might be useful.

When mcgrue said "use e-mail instead", what he actually meant was "I'm too busy*cough*lazy*cough* to code a private msg system".

The private message system in place is actually just a simple webmail accessable to users. However, instead of debugging it for 10 minutes months ago, I just disabled the page instead.

Web development at it's best!
I too suffer from a similar stigma ;)

At least make it so that when I press email I dont get a page that says 'this page is currently disabled.'

Better idea is to just use vbulletin or phpbb :D

I gave grue a regged vb to play with for testing purposes. The question is everyone willing to donate a couple of bucks to go towards the $160 vbulletin license? (I would)
phpbb is more volatile and hella easy to break.

how dare you suggest replacing the system that grue spent loads of free time into making!

Because the prebuilts are better?
I approached vecna about a potential vbuiltin license earlier. The consensus was 'well, it'd be neat, but that's kinda overkill for a community of ~50 active members'.
I have other issues with phpBB, but nothing that's insurmountable.
So, maybe later.
