 The limit is now 5000 characters, rather than the 50,000 it was before. Enjoy. ^_~

 Good. At one point it was only 1000 characters, but hat was to short. This is a good lenght.

 A thousand's all right, even 500 seems a bit much. I mean, honestly, what is the point in showing someone 5000 characters of text over and over again, since those with the longest sigs seem to enjoy showing them off all the time, as well. Subliminal messages? Repetitive learning? What?

 ...but can you limit random's?  the answer is, apparently, yes..  the forum actually told me when I was making it that it had gotten too long, but it was rather odd in formatting..  a few lines = like 5 characters..  *shrugs*

*pats random*  'e's my special account, yiss indeed...

 Well, yeah. A return is a character. A space, in some systems, is a character. In some, any keystroke is a character. As well it should be.

 yet, the space left by 'return' or 'enter' isnt exactly, well, a character " " <==  that is a character, a physical space separating the quotations..  


thoes two spaces above are not characters..  simply, well, space..  all depends on how the program likes to see it, my sig does not have too many characters, but is simply too long as the forum sees it...

 Hmmm....I wonder if this takes any affect on my signature's length, thus the reason I'm actually posting....

 The only thing I have aginst sig leignth restrictions is they limit the extravigance of the UBBC code you can put in your sig. Otherwise, It don't effect me, seeing as I have, and have had the signatures off for a while now.

 Ban?? What did Arguia or Wildwood do that deserves a ban? Maybe a long siggy is annoying, but it's no reason to be chucked out of the forums...

Apparently people are getting angry at me for having too long of a sig. when all you have to do is press three buttons to not veiw someone else's sig. if you do not want to see it so I no longer have one *grumble* lazy people *grumble*.  Whew! Run on sentence.

 Yay, Wildwood! And I don't turn off sigs because some peoples' sigs are enjoyable to read and change (check my Pokemon team) and I would rather have to deal w/ the occasional long sig and the good ones than no sigs at all...
