10K Character Limit

[ewing6]

Yeah I had trouble with this when i was posting my stats on Miz's thing in my 1984 Mets dynasty.[Which you all should read

[Rongar]

To refute my own argument about "few people read storylines" I must admit that the numbers of people viewing one's dynasty might be telling...of course, the question is then, is it because of, or in spite of the storyline?

Fwiw, Cat, my interest in your storied dynasty (pardon the pun) has been piqued by the many favourable mentions of it, by Members...I'll read it, first chance I get.

There's a limit so people can't make huge posts of BS (along the lines of "sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssss" just longer) and mess up everything

Pretty sure a limit of 10,000 still allows for that, and people don't do it, because most people are sane, and if someone does do that, it would get reported and deleted.

Overall, a 250 letter limit would kill my dynasty. Now personally, I don't have a problem with the 10K limit, ON AVERAGE. Most of the time, I post story, box scores, or just random things, and I'm usually always below the limit. Sometimes though, I do get something shoved in my eye that hits my brain which makes me want to write a whole book in one post, or I just have a lot to say.

During Part 1 of my dynasty, I made it to the playoffs for the first time. I have a different style of writing that I apply to the post season because I present the games in a different manner due to how important each game is. How I do this is show one or two pictures, headline, and a quick news type recap on the game, trying to give life to it. Under that, I post the box score for the game and also the in game....game recap, which takes up a lot of space.

I'll admit, sometimes when it comes to writing I become extremely lazy and don't post a whole lot, but other times, I write A LOT. When I do actually write a lot, I can't post everything in one post. For someone who wants to keep things as uniformed as possible, it really, REALLY bugs me to make only one post for the in game....game recap.

Bottom line, if we can do away with the limit or just even expand it, I'm all for it. 250 limit? **** that, lol

[Jeffy25]

i wish inside coding at least, since that doesn't over take the entire screen....i would appreciate not having to be limited.

[200tang]

I don't get why someone said we should lower it to 250...that would be insane. Even if dynasty writers can just post boxscores, it's unfair to box everyone in to one style. Not to mention not everyone can read JUST boxscores and be entertained. I know I personally can't. I don't think I would ever read a dynasty again. I would probably just start my own website for my dynasty and link it in my sig, but what's the point if we already have a 10k limit?

Anyways, if at all possible, I think we should move it up to 15-20k. I would be hesitant to remove it completely because it wouldn't be hard to 'break' someones computer by overloading the screen with 1,000,000 characters in one post. And for those wondering, getting that many characters is not that tough. I could easily just type out the word "awesome" and then copy + paste it like 100 times, then copy and paste those 100 times a bunch, etc.. You get the idea. Now that obviously depends on the computer, but when developing a website you should always try to accommodate for everyone (not including 640x480..they're just out of luck...).

[CatKnight]

Well, as I mentioned earlier....I don't necessarily agree any limit at all is necessary, but if so even 15K (perhaps 20K for people who are using a lot of coded information like play-by-plays or some of Miz's applications) is plenty.

[Mizerak]

bump. Would really like this to be addressed, if it can be.

Some of the best dynasties on here have been storyline-based. Hell, Dis-Mantle-d is really fantastic and the season just barely started!

I was planning to upload the encyclopedia from my gamefile in my new dynasty and link to it in each post (that's why the I'm doing all the colors, as a groundwork for when I get the encyclopedia up), but its becoming increasingly evident that I will not be able to fit the links into the post unless I limit each post to being about just one game.

Could you please get rid of the limit (or significantly raise it) for the dynasty forum?

Oooh that is such a great idea to include the encyclopedia.

[metsguy234]

Why would you need to include the encyclopedia every day?
