Hi Myth, Procyon here, totally not upset or anything, but again, I have to ask you to try to cut down on the number of edits that you're making to anything other than guide-specific material.  Archiving is good, but most people tend to archive ''once every three to six months'', not every day.  I'm not sure if you're aware of the impact you're having on the history, but every time you make an edit, you're saving more and more information to the database each time.  Now, it's not like we're going to run out of space anytime soon, but each of these edits that you do, whether it's writing back to someone just to say "Thank you", or updating your to-do list, or touching your archive frequently, that's just that much more space that you're using up that could be otherwise dedicated towards walkthroughs and guides.  I am in no way telling you to stop editing your user pages entirely, they're there for you to use how you see fit.  But it would be greatly appreciated if you could limit it to, let's say 10 edits per day, or something there abouts.  The closer you can get it to once a day would be great, but let's take baby steps first.  Thanks very much.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 13:24, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
