o-0' too tired of people grabbing my phone and looking through the messages as if to confirm i don't have a life. so i delete 'em all.
but i never got around to deleting the [msn] chat logs.
though it has always irked me that people [mostly girls] often read their chat logs somewhat repeatedly in times of boredom or nostalgia or sadness.

but i guess "what else would you do with chat logs".


_and yes. Xx' feel free to kick me in the head if this one's already done. [lovely song it is, too]

i only recently started to save the chat logs since sometimes my friends would tell me details of a party or watever and i accidentally close the window without writing it down somewhere [i'm really forgetful]. So yeah. Going back to the chat log helps instead of asking them again since they hate repeating them to me xDD

my phone deletes messages after 15 days. i dont keep quotes/forward messages and all. lol. errrr... and I don't really save most of my chat logs, not unless its really really important - like if it has details that Im too tired to copy. wink.gif
xx-
delete.
it's kinda annoying to keep things that are arent important and take up alot of space.
michikosashimi

i would sometimes want to save them,
but i end up forgetting so byebye messages :(
HighSkies
I only use mns so my chatlogs are automatically saved. As for texts I can never be bothered to delete them. tongue.gif
xstarBURST
I Usually delete them. If i don't delete all the sms and emails i get on my phone it lags.
Honey.bee
I save my chatlogs and delete them after they get too full. It's always amusing reading them after a while. =)
rawrskiies
My convo's are automatically save.
When my friends ask me, what I'm doing i'm like reading over old convo's.
there reaction WTF ...>.O".
musicbox.
I always save my chat logs, I think the oldest I have are from 2006 and I saved it on disk?
my MSN chat logs are automatically saved and I like it that way smile.gif
it's fun reading back and laughing on what kind of conversations my friends and I had more than a year ago.
oh and txt messages I usually delete.

My text messages are on auto delete, I've never had a text message I ABSOLUTELY HADDDD to save~

My MSN chat logs aren't on auto save either because I like having as much space on my computer as possible. If I have a particularly funny convo, one with instructions or links, convos/interviews with clients, or anything I might need to save for proof of whatever at any point, I'll save them, otherwise I just save them in my head. tongue.gif
tea-light
I keep them until my phone gets full. Then I delete it all. Yup, I'm lazy like that. tongue.gif
eclipsesque.
I only keep it if it has some important details. Other than that, I'll just delete it.
Even if I choose to keep it until my inbox full, it's quite useless because I never get back to that message.
youngbaellaine
With my cellphone, I usually do save stuff..
Until my inbox and outbox are both full.
But I do delete random texts like "Okay" and "Lol", or whatever.

When it comes to MSN, I used to always save my message logs.
But now that I have MSN on my laptop,
I'd rather much save space for other things.
If a conversation is really funny, I'll just save it on Notepad or something.
But yeah, no.. Not anymore.
IPwnx3
i delete if i remember too >.<
mizzxangie
i keep my msn chat logs .. haha

( learned the hard way after my mom found them when i left my msn on o.o )
i think my oldest ones are from like 07?
september 2007.. it's weird seeing how things have changed ;.;
text messages.. i don't delete unless i'm angry or something o.o;
tellmelove

robotomy
I delete them all. I don't like keeping old messages, it kind of annoys me.
JacksonC
I always deleted them because I shared my computer so I don't want people to look at my chat.
1TYMRMYVZT
I delete my chat logs daily because seeing the folder in my documents annoys me. ._.
Text messages... I delete them when there's too many because my phone lags.
heartandseoul
I only save my chat logs if it's something important or a really funny convo laugh.gif
I only delete my txt msgs when my inbox is too full
sixth.
i save my chat logs because my friends and i are all really forgetful, so it's good to have a saved copy of our conversations to check back on, if needed (which is quite often).

texts, i usually delete straight away. but if they're funny, i keep them
angeli_kpop
I don't save my chat logs, roflmao tongue.gif
As for sms, I save nice quotes for future use XD
But when my inbox is full already, then I delete them^^!
maly&ahpulee
on msn, i used to keep them while in HS, but now that i'm in college, texting is the new thing. and yeah, i keep those on my phone, too.
ephemeral.
I always keep my MSN chat logs.
Who knows? Sometimes I need them. (x
Teeeee
Automatically save chat logs, because I'm forgetful.
Also, if someone said something rude or something blahblah
i have proof xD
RisingxSun06
i keep the good chats haha ~
i when i feel upset, i just read them and it makes me feel so much better happy.gif
CorruptedSilence__nomore
I keep all my Chat Logs for MSN. They prove to be useful in times of need sleep.gif
belarus*
my phone automatically deletes text messages by itself after it exceeds 150.
why save chat logs? takes up computer memory.
dandelionx
uh i usually delete all my msgs after a while.
emceej
uhh....i don't really save my chats D:
that's a waste of time since some of my convos with my friends are really random anyways and there's no reason for me to save them. unless if it's someone really important and he/she said something that needs to be remembered, then yes, i do save it =) most of the time, i don't really even think about saving the chat sleep.gif

text messages, yes i do keep some. but the chainmails and all that random crap gets deleted
screamxlove
I usually save conversations that I think were really funny, or interesting and if I ever feel... nostalgic, I'll reread them.
I put them all on a word.doc though.
shinhdeplol
i always save the chats of me with my crush hahaha

precious files lol
binjoo
My chat logs are automatically saved. I haven't bothered changing the settings. It's convenient though when I need to look up sites my friends tell me to look at (that type of stuff).

As for texts, I usually delete them every day.
re.toon
I keep chat logs XD ... only chat with friends
Guess my oldest one is 2005 or Dec/2004 XD

Oh... for txt msg I keep it for awhile and it's protected with password

XD
AiMango
I used to save since like '06. But ever since i got my new laptop, iv only have records of late '08. theyre useful cause i constantly forget what people say : P
julieeee
i dont save my chat logs,
coz when i first made my msn;
when the thing popped up asking
whether or not to save,i said no lol.
[MeiMei ♡]
i delete my phone msgs
but i save the msn ones, because it does that automatically
and you can always bring them back up if soemone decides to say you said something when you didn't.
nickynisa
i didn't keep my chatlogs..
i'll delete text msgs every 1 or 2 days..
yeonhee.
I don't even keep my chatlogs anymore.
Sam Sik
I've kept Chat Logs in an archive expanding over 3 years.

I keep them because:
-Great thing to look through for random memories.
-Quotes (ex. I remember you told me last year ...etc.)
-Links and information (ex. Passwords and such) so I don't have to write them down.
Starberriee
I don't save them unless it is really funny, or a really long argument, so I can laugh at them later. tongue.gif
Plus I don't want my mom to see how I speak online LOL.
Hongki.love
I save the best ones. I would keep all since I'm too lazy to organize and delete, but it only holds so much. As for chat logs on AIM and stuff, it automatically saves it for me. And it is fun to go back and read conversations from looong ago. x]
xthefirst
i save special ones. (: but are they usually saved?
thelostmistress
I delete messages that nothing to do with me. And I save
messages that are special. Sometimes I just empty my inbox. Hahaha.

kurayzeexivy
I usually just leave my texts there until they say I run out of space.
And I archive my chats. xD I don't know why because I don't even
go back and read them or anything. Just in case I guess? x]
Delusional
I try to keep my chat logs, but sometimes my computer decides to be lame and deletes them because "they are not used" =[
rainn
I'll keep it for about 1 - 2 weeks & then I'll eventually delete it.
Mainly because my family has a habit of browsing through my messages.
Allison
I used to. I even saved conversations I had with people face to face. I would like re-write what was said and stuff...WHICH WAS HELLA WEIRD, I HATE MYSELF FOR BEING A WEIRDO. Then my crush made fun of me with my brother and their friends. Now, I only save some online chats or whatever. Right now, I only have one conversation saved. It's when my friend told me she told Taemin that I loved him and he nodded his head XD <3 lmfaaaao.
orange.xin.wo
