  Old  Minimum Post Characters Introduced

To help improve the quality of posts we have introduced a minimum charactor rule for all posts. You will not be able to submit a post that falls below this minimum.

This has been enabled to reduce the number of posts which have no or little benifit to the thread - eg posts which just contain "lol", "great" etc will no longer be on the site.

Well I don't think you really need to know ( although you can obviously work it out ) - all you need to know you need to know is you can post "lol" etc posts from now on.

20 characters itaca. Good move on your part Zee, its better to get a full understanding of each others posts rather than just posting one word posts.

Nice one.

Excellent Impluo. Another way round a TFL rule - great work. Lol, just kidding mate. (Off Topic: Is your avatar of the Grim Reaper in 'The Adventures of Billy and Mandy'? I'm sure it was something like that, they changed the name from something else to that though...)

I was just telling him, I've had to use it on other forums that had character limits but the limits were set by default and the admin didn't care to remove them, I wouldn't try it here since the character restriction was put there for a reason.

Yea it is Grim from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy". One of my favorite shows

The show was originally titled "Grim and Evil" when Evil Con Carne was part of the show. The show title also differs in the place you live, I've seen a bunch of people from Europe refer to the show as "Grim".
