Character Limits -- Too small.

~4100 characters for replies is unacceptable... No. Really. That's not workable, for me, in the slightest. Is it supposed to be a lot higher and the boards hate me? Is it supposed to be lower? Is it that formatting doesn't count?

If one wants to be verbose, they end up being INCAPABLE of being verbose. Because there's not enough space.

On the other forums, each post can be up to 50,000 characters. If somebody wanted to make, say [a well thought] [out champion], that's really not possible with these boards-- there's NOT ENOUGH SPACE.

And it appears the character limit for threads is ~24250. Which is also way too small. I certainly couldn't fit more than TWO of the FIVE posts that make up Wirym (first link) in that amount of space. No, REALLY. 14015, 8280, 11254, 8848, and 19365 characters for each of those five posts respectively. I wouldn't be able to fit anything past her lore and kit. Admittedly, the Boards' formatting takes up less space than the other formatting (in terms of characters), but it's still too small (in fact, I recall barely managing to post Wirym's lore + kit on these boards in the past).

So... Why is it so small? Why are we given such a prohibitively tiny amount of space to work with? Is it honestly believed that such a small amount of text is an acceptable limit, given that it'd mostly be text? If somebody wants to make a thread so big that almost nobody could stomach reading it, let them. I'd only ever consider making such a thread, or at least one that is long enough for me to be satisfied-- something that has enough meat on its bones to not only stand alone but hopefully stand a test of time, something that, right out of the gate, answers all the questions. Not something that's incomplete or half-assed, like those new champion biographies (seriously, not even three paragraphs, AND no external content? Would have been better to leave the old story up until you actually finished the new one, if you ask... probably anybody that cares). Or a champion that's still a work in progress (though I did so as an experiment with my version of [Zelos]).

Can we please, please, PLEASE have a much larger text limit? ._.

Like, say, "As many characters as you can post"?
