Ugh, the thread title is so long that I can't even see most of it in the subject box, how am I even supposed to count from there. I'm gonna post this so I can count it, one sec...

Okay so now that we have this much room in thread titles (seriously though, is that new or was it always like that???) do we put crypto scams inside the thread or do we just try to fit the full pitch in the title?

I am in agreement with this belief. The character limit is also why it took me many years to get onto the bird app, and almost no time to subsequently abandon it.

Like, I can fit my premise into this many characters, maybe. But not my whole damned thought!

Embrace the future Ari. We fit everything into titles now. We don't need thoughts longer than 120 characters

I want the record to reflect I duly investigated to see if I could write longer thread titles than you could. I can't. I don't know why I tested, I am now recalling we run into this problem frequently in the unwieldy modside thread titles we generate, and yet I tested it.

I want the record to FURTHER reflect I came here to duly investigate whether gaining admin powers granted me greater ability to write longer thread titles. It doesn't.

this isn't really relevant but when i send people the link to their created GTKAS threads, on rare occasion i make the link the subject line of the PM and make the body text just be "here you go" or something. and then i giggle about how that probably makes things inconvenient for them

I hope you keep trying for it, if you could just get 1 extra character your limit would be 11*11 and that just seems right

I will now use that as my excuse for not using the one you gave me (or it not being in that format, seeing as the link was in the body) after I asked for one a year ago.
