Awesome.
I give my full fledged support and everlasting loyalty to the movement to restore the BBCode cake and presents.Colorful cakes can't happen unless the profile posts allow BBCode.
Aaaaaand I just hit the new 1000 character limit.
BOO C'MON MAN I'M SO OPPRESSED @Ralle GET WITH IT 10,000 IS THE NEW 1,000
to be fair I included a few URLs, which ate up some space... Maybe getting BBCode to work in profile posts would be better than increasing the size. xD
Even though an 'infinite limit' would be neat, I'd be just fine with a massively-extended limit (i.e. 1000). If I've written 1000 characters, I need take a step back & re-evaluate. More likely, it just gives me a chance to realize "huh, yeah, that is a lot". I don't feel bad, like when I hit 420 just by breathing.
I don't think in characters. What disturbs me is that most of the time when I write someone a VM it goes over the limit. The limit should exist for technical reasons, but it should be high enough that I won't reach it unless I do something stupid like copying an entire book.
But yes, being able to put code samples there would be very nice. I haven't had to do it so far, but I'm sure it would easily go over the current limit and 1000 characters would not be enough either.
So yeah, that's my official stance - a limit should be high enough that I don't know it's there until I purposefully go looking for it.
Quoted For Truth. This is pretty much exactly what I believe.

Why a BB Code cake, when one can have an HTML5 Video one, baked with love by none other than Katy Perry?I give my full fledged support and everlasting loyalty to the movement to restore the BBCode cake and presents.
@pyf I told myself I won't respond to this thread anymore, because it really isn't worth it, but when you write "So what is your point?", I just can't stop myself. So, what is YOUR point? you haven't given a single one since this thread started, the only thing you keep writing is "this is the current state, deal with it" rephrased in every post. That's definitely a good perspective on life, why even strive to improve things.
Please refer to Character limit in profile posts and comment once you actually have some valid argument.
In other words, a reason AGAINST or FOR making profile longer than 1000 characters (or any arbitrary number that people easily reach with daily use), and not having to use pastebin to share any non-textual content.
And please, if you do reply, don't go with some "boo hoo Ralle is busy and has a real life", that's just irrelevant ad hominem coming from you (and I think Ralle can speak for himself).
What Xonok wrote is what I wrote, and is the only thing here that makes logical sense, he just didn't write it in a direct "offensive" way like I did (turns out the cold logical truth is offensive to people).

@Xonok is the Thread starter. He asked in the OP about the possibility for the character limit in Profile posts to be eventually either removed or increased. @Ralle heard him and raised it. @Xonok then expressed his consideration to @Ralle, for this extra work he had already promised and planned to do at a later date, by giving him rep. This is being both thankful and considerate imho.What Xonok wrote is what I wrote, and is the only thing here that makes logical sense, he just didn't write it in a direct "offensive" way like I did (turns out the cold logical truth is offensive to people).
It appears I should've used a smiley... Though I would've thought the miles of ridiculous CAPS LOCK would be obvious enough. : |
Giving Reputation is not the only way to show appreciation for something. It's also not something everyone can do immediately (for good reason), due to the "must give rep to 5 other people first" thing, for example.So far, only four individuals repped him for this extra, out of schedule work for our community.
@Ralle, can you alter the fabric of space-time to shorten time itself? Kthxbai(But make the miliseconds slower.)
