Contact list has been doubled to 300 by x2zen on 03-22-2005 at 08:22 AM
You saw it first here! From me! Even before mess.be 
I just logged onto MSN Beta Newsgroup when I saw this new post from Mike Mccoy (MSN Beta Team):
quote:Just to bad, you cant win the prize
Many of you have asked for it and now you've got it. The maximum number of
contacts has been doubled! Why limit yourself to just 150 contacts when you
can have 300! I've got some MSN swag for the first person who can send a
screenshot to (email removed) of their contact list showing 300
contacts.
Please note, this increase is for all MSN Messenger customers not just the
beta testers. But only you can get the prize!
Have fun!
-Mike
Edit: Updated the title

They could remove you from the beta list because from leaking stuff... (luckely this isn't any crucial stuff, but still...)

isn't it easier to make a plug-in that will let you have unlimited number of contacts?

300 is plenty for me. 
RE: Contact list has been doubled to 300 by CookieRevised on 03-23-2005 at 02:43 AM
Please don't post how many contacts your have in your list. This isn't a "How many contacts do you have"-spam-thread. This is a thread about MSN increasing the 150 limit.

quote:Nope, you're correct. The limit is set serverside. Remember that contactlists are stored on the server (so you can access them from anywhere). This server needs room per .NET Passport to store those X contacts.

It is impossible to tamper with the total amount of contacts saved by the server.
