Conversations (private messages) that are more than an year old are automatically deleted.

Is there any way I can save some conversation, such that it is not deleted from my inbox? One obvious option would be to reply to the conversation annually. But that doesn't seem to be a very viable idea in the long run.

Can a feature be implemented such that anyone of the participants can save the conversation in his/her account forever?

? I participate in one PM thread that is now 4 years old.

Oh, wait ... I see. You saying that if no one has participated in the thread for over a year it's deleted.

We at one time had the ability to download our conversations, and keep that file of all of them on our computer or another removable storage piece. Maybe this feature could be brought back?

That is a good option. It will be helpful if implemented again.
