Is there a limit of 9999 characters for a PM but no limit for posting on the forums? I think some sort of limit needs to be put on the forums just so that people like me don't get the urge to post a 180 page post :erm:

We'll take that chance.
I was just curious as to why there is a limit on PM size mainly though.
Probably because we can easily moderate large posts, but not large PMs.
You guys moderate PMs? I thought that was only done on request. Sephex and I are so smurfed :erm:
By "not easily", I am mean "not at all", except for admins who are given permission to do so.
Did you hear about the super secret terrorist virus that was suppose to hit all FF forums?
Yamaneko didnt
no limit on usernotes either, although I have been known to delete excessively long usernotes, unless they contain the text to The Great Gatsby. :)
There is, in fact, a limit on post size for the forums and it happens to be about 16MB = the data size of a mySQL mediumtext column type. :D
16777215 characters to be exact.
Thanks for that vital information. *evil grin*
Yes time for a massive post :p
16777215 also happens to be the true name of God.
Wow...16,777,215...my NIN post was only 178,703 and that was at least 160 pages long. I would hate to imagine how horrendous 16 million is like.
What!!!??!? You guys mod PM's?? Holy crap. I thought they were called "Private".Quote:

I'd assume that's where the admins come in if they do have those priviledges.
...are you sure you haven't been on staff before?Quote:

I don't open PMs anymore because I am afraid of anthrax.
