    Default [Decision] Increase Custom usertitle space to 25 characters

    Proposer: Major Darling

    Supporters:

    Decision The custom usertitle space is to be increased to 25 characters. Making it an even round and slightly bigger number.



    Ever wanted a user title but when you typed it in, you couldn't add that wanted punctuation mark or last letter... Well now you can.

    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.

    If we pass this with that excuse it will be same excuse to make it even longer.

    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.

    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

    Its a space issue. I believe Sim tried it at 30 once but it messed up the spacing on some skins. That might have been user names though, cant remember.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.


    The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.


    If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.


    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.


    οὕτως ἀταλαίπωρος τοῖς πολλοῖς ἡ ζήτησις τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἑτοῖμα μᾶλλον τρέπονται.


    Questions are not necessarily there to be answered, but possibly there to inspire thinking.


    Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, - quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.


    If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of commonwealth.


    Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.


    There is no chaos in the world, only complexity.
    Knowledge of the complex is wisdom.
    From wisdom of the world comes wisdom of the self.
    Mastery of the self is mastery of the world. Loss of the self is the source of suffering.
    Suffering is a choice, and we can refuse it.
    It is in our power to create the world, or destroy it.

    You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.


    Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.


    The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.


    Ο Νούς νοεί τον εαυτόν του ως κράτιστος και η νόησή του είναι της νοήσεως νόησις.


    'Nothing is true, everything is permitted.' is merely an observation of the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

    I just don't see the point in making it two characters bigger.

    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.

    If 25 letters is able to fit on the line, then I support. Don't really see why everyone is so opposed.
