Why can't I send private messages?

[de3ik]

I tried to send a private message and an error popped up saying that I couldn't send any. Why? Could a mod please fix this? And if it is set up here where you can't send pms I think that is wrong. There are certain things you don't want to discuss over the board and shouldn't have to. Not everyone wants to give their email out either.

Can someone please answer this question? Surely someone knows the answer.

i have seen a lot of reply's to a post like urs and they state that u couldve back then send a message but since people abused the system they cut it off. i dont know if they are going to put it back or not.

I guess they had it before, but like a member said, too many people abused the system, so now all FC members are paying the price for the people who screwed it up.
