I just had an idea. And a weird one at that.

Right now the Message center is sort of... out of the way. You have to click on the link, go there, find a new message, etc.

What if the Message Center was just like another Board forum, except it would only display messages/threads that you sent or received? And maybe you could send messages to multiple people, so you could have your own private thread on the board (pretty much)? Heck, Staff wouldn't even be able to see it, so you could plot behind our backs and plot our downfall.

Just a thought, but integrating it just sounds like a neat and nice idea right now. But I'll probably realize why it would never work tomorrow.

If you can code it, go for it, as I don't use the messaging system...

(As I have no reason to use it)

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Could be a nice way indeed. Right now, it's rarely used by myself (I received something like 20 and sent about 10 messages last 365 days). A more integrated message-system (looking more part of the board-system) could be a nice feature.. and likely more active than it is now. Just wouldn't know what a private thread would be like, but oh well.

Now there's a good idea.. praise the almighty redink1 for such a great thought, and let's all beg that it'll work.
