Are posts suddenly limited to only two or three short paragraphs?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I tried to do (what I thought) was a fairly-short post a week or so ago, and it told me that I had exceeded the 2000-character limit.

I've seen waaaay longer posts than what I was trying to do, so I didn't get it. Was it a glitch? Or are we really only allowed to do really-short posts from now on?

Is that the same problem that you encountered?

That is the future. I envision a time, not far from now, when people will express their thoughts with just a dozen or so characters and anything more will be tl;dr and impolite.

But there is a bright side too. Our female counterparts don't like much the verbose type, especially those who wield words like swords. It gives them headache and makes them distrustful.

Yep, "Before Sunrise" is mostly a male fantasy. If you are not Ethan Hawke and try his thing on a girl, you will get much less female appreciation than him.

Let's keep this board girl friendly.

If true, it's an egregious assault on free expression which, in conjunction with the intrusive moderation many are beginning to notice, spells doom for the future of Moviechat. Too bad. I actually liked the layout here, but the community is not growing and there are a number.of red flags that things may only get worse.

The size limit got cut way short recently. Way too short. It's really annoying actually. There was nothing wrong with the previous size allowance, no need to make it so short. What's next, are we going to become Twitter, limited to 240 characters or whatever it is there? This is a site for discussing movies, which often entails a fair amount of analysis that the new size limit really doesn't leave room for. Heck, on the weekly "what movies did you watch this week?" thread, I can barely even list the handful of movies I watch each week without hitting the size limit. It's just too short.

I don't know why this change was made. As far as I know, there wasn't any problem with overly long posts.

I liked it better the way it was. Or at least the character limit should be doubled.

I think it should be shorter. Think about it. More posts means you participate more. Every idea you put down is a another post and it actually helps to organize your thoughts better.

That's an interesting question. I was mildly rebuked about a month ago for my short posts. Go figure. I sort of think brevity
is a virtue.
