To those wondering about character limits. One of the reasons forum/server admins set these limits is to prevent database issues.
SQL Server admins know what I mean. Say on avg. Your threads are 5-10 pages. Then you may have one thread that is 3000 pages+. It causes that part of the table not to be optimized which can in turn slow or bottleneck another area.

Imagine if we had 20k posts.. times that by so many. It could cause things to choke up if the server isnt tuned right.
