Maximum post length appears to have been cut

in Ten Forward
Down to about 8000 characters, which I suppose is quite enough... unless you're, y'know, writing fanfic posts or something.

Is there any chance of any movement on this? Any official voices care to comment?

    It's a little before 9am where They are, so nobody is functionally awake to give us an answer yet.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    I think at this point I may just have to start posting links to ff.net or start a blog if they keep cutting it down.

    I suppose we'll have to, but it won't be patiently. (No sarcasm here at all.)

    And then we'll get told to stop doing multiple posts in a row...

    If it's a story I can't see anybody telling you off for that.​​

    Uh-oh, @pwlaughingtrendy , think we lost even the modest adjustment you made for us when we first came over here. We were at 24000 characters here, before the latest migration--but unlimited on the vBulletin forum. Hope this will be resolved soon!

    What the heck was the point of that, anyway? Did we ever get a straight answer out of the web designers?

    Many thanks! Glad to have the artistic integrity of my walls of text respected.

    (I suppose I'd better post something now, then.)

    Thanks, trendy. :)

    Speaking of fan fiction, is there any chance we could start getting the Unofficial Literary Challenges stickied each month so we get more participation and they don't fall off the front page?

    Out of curiosity, exactly what did the character limit get updated to?

    And thanks @pwlaughingtrendy and sorry to hear you might not be feeling well. Get some rest!
