I've added a couple friends through the forum message service, but when I message them I never get a response. When I goto sent messages it shows 0 sent messages...What am I doing wrong? How the hell do I message/email somebody around here lol...Thanks.

Messages do not automatically go into the Sent box. You have to check off a box before you send the message to tell it to save it. At the very bottom, right above the "Send Message" button, there is a check box for "Save a copy to Sent Messages folder".

As for why you haven't gotten a response... well, maybe they don't like you.
