Increase Character Limit for Specially Long Dexter PMs!

This isn't the first time this has happened to me and I'm sure there is someone else out there who has a lot to say about certain subjects that has ran into this terrible problem before. It might not be that needed, but I'm sure it isn't too difficult to increase the character limit in PMs. What would you have to do, simply change the number in that particular area?
Who else wants a 12029 characters long message about what I think about you? :cool:
Posted by StalolinJust send two PMs.
Posted by DexterIt's easier for Jesse to change the character limit number and I don't like having intermissions or time-outs or find out that the member has reached their PM limit after half of what I have to say to them has been received. What if the first half is the bad half and they never experience the transition into the good stuff and therefor become sad? Like many movies, you have to leave them feeling good, and depending on how bad the PM was, it might take a lot of characters to build them back up and help them see the bright side. Your suggestion can destroy beautiful relationships and cause emotional turbulence or, in rare and true cases, cause extreme hatred or even suicide. Can't you feel the severity of this simple idea?

And send me a PM about what you think of me.
It better have both positive and negative comments.
Posted by AntYeah, I would like one as well. :)
Posted by Jesse SmithChanged to 15K. Now, send me a 10K PM telling me how annoying I am and how much you wish I could be de-admined and you take over!!!! :D:D:D:D
Posted by DexterIf you want that, Jesse, you better increase it to 20K.
Did you happen to get my phone message today, by the way?
Yes, 20K is a good idea. And clear Sabredog's PMs for him.
Posted by NES Queenwhy not just ask for their regular email address which would most likely have a significantly higher limit than here. or if its such a sensitive/important message, just call them on the phone. things of that nature are better handled in a more personal manner anyway.

Quoting NES Queen: why not just ask for their regular email address which would most likely have a significantly higher limit than here. or if its such a sensitive/important message, just call them on the phone. things of that nature are better handled in a more personal manner anyway.
The moment isn't always there and when it is they are not always available to hear it on the phone. Asking and waiting for their email address takes time and the fleeting moment may be lost forever in the process. Also, you'd be surprised how many people check VGC more often than their email accounts. And not all these over the character limit PMs are meant to be so personal and so serious. They are often casual PMs, such as sending a really long AIM conversation to just going off on some major tangents. Increasing the character limit is simple and it will make things easier for those of us who have a lot to say. Don't fight it, embrace it.

Posted by sabreer, was there any reason you wanted my inbox cleared?
Posted by The Judge
Quoting Ant: Yeah, I would like one as well. :)
Same here.
Posted by Dexter
Quoting Sabredog: er, was there any reason you wanted my inbox cleared?
So I could send you messages, of course. I've tried several times and failed miserably thinking that it would be cleared. Also, you're a super mod and you should be available to help newbies when they come to you. It's part of your responsibility. I'm not the only one who wanted you to clear your inbox either.

Posted by RaptorIf there is one thing I've learned over time, it's to be concise. Web users spend a hell of a lot more time browsing than reading.
Posted by Jesse Smither how long does it take for you to write a PM that big??!!!! u sure you arn't just copying a 16K FAQ in to PM!!! :D

Me?
Posted by GameMiestroWe need to make room for these special brand Dexter PM's- far superior to any of your pathetic normal messages.
Posted by Skitzo ControlI want the character limit to be set to five thousand so then I could be sent 3 PMs about what you think about me.:)
Posted by RaptorBe concise.
Posted by Skitzo ControlIt's really hard to be concise when talking about a person. People are far too idiosyncratic to summarize in just a few sentences.
Posted by higbvuybNo, Raptor can be summarised in one word: Furry.
