post length
I think the site should be made a bit like twitter, in that no posts can be longer than 140 characters, say 200 maybe? If you need to write an essay submit it as an article? Or perhaps introduce a ‘click to read more’ tab. For peeps with more time & patience on their hands.
Personally, I don’t read any posts more than a couple of lines long anyway, but it bugs when im trying to scroll through threads and some posts are like War & Peace, The Directors cut. Especially at work when I log on for a quick skim through whats going on, like you do on twitter.
tbh, id have given up reading this by now!

Re: post length
To be honest Mr General, I think you're wrong. And I shall explain why if I may. 200 characters is just about long enough for you to

Twitter is for wankers.
Re: post length
Doubt it would be a success as it would promote text speak which would require another post from people like myself asking for a translation.

the reviews on Amazon are a testament to what I mean – they show a few lines to tease you, if you want the full review you ‘click to read more’ but you generally get the jist of it from what you see.

I'm in favour of a 'senser' that detects when Hoboh is logging on, then firewalls him out of the site.Hoboh wrote:sensership that's whats going on here, its a gag the tramp plot, if you get past the ridgebacks the trusted AK47 awaits (failing that I've got this funny little red button the bloke keeps telling me to push to vote.
