It is currently at 23
It's pretty long already.. meh
"Muscovy", as its rulers have previously called it, is a sleeping giant, with age-old traditions and ways of doing things. Here, the feudal way of life has become so entrenched that the serfs are as tied to the land as cattle, and with almost as few rights. It is a vast, deeply conservative and religious country: Mother Russia and the Orthodox Church are the two pillars of national belief. The Tsar may be the father of his people, but by tradition and practice he is a stern parent. Ivan the Terrible was well named, and he has not been the only ruler with an iron will. Russia is the "Third Rome". The last bastion of Orthodox Christianity.

No, its more that 23 characters isnt really a round number
Neither is 25, a round number is a number ending in one or more zeros, a number ending in a 5 is more round than one that doesn't but is not a round number.

Is there anyone reason why it is 23?
I thought it was 24... I'm pretty sure it was 24 a year ago at least... it'd be a strange change to cut that by 1, but you never know!
I support, although I don't think this needs a curial passage to be implimented. Just try contacting Sim or another admin, if it's doable it can be done just by them. This seems like the kinda change that would fail just because a bunch of people don't care.
I think a year and a half ago was when it was changed to 23/24 from what it used to be, which was something like a dozen or so. It was put on the prothalamos just like this one, but then an admin--I'm guessing Sim--just changed it so there wasn't a need to actually vote on it.
That wiki article seemed like it was more opinion than fact, to me...
I'd call 25 a round number, personally, since 4 of them make one hundred and 4 is the secret answer to the universe.

I thought it was 42 was the answer to the universe. You have thrown everything that I have accepted as true in this universe into question!
As for the length of the custom usertitles... I assume its only 23 because that is the the largest amount of characters that can fit on one line, while leaving an acceptable amount of room on either side so as not to look cramped. Then again I just pulled that out of you know where, so I could quite possibly be wrong![]()

I don't see the point in boosting it by two characters. But I don't really see a problem in it either.

I like the challange of fitting the message into 23 letters. The challange would be greatly diminished with 25 letters.
Also the 3 has more round curves than a 5 and is thus sexier.
Opposed for the above and whatever reasons Sim or AL is about to post.
