3000 characters is not enough.

Or just get to the point already

I mean, this is just the harsh reality of things.

If you can explain something using less words, do it. No need to be long winded.

I'll even give an example.

Proper: Yesterday I went to the store and bought some milk. While I was there, I also bought some eggs since they were on sale.

Proper but.. long winded: Yesterday I took a shower and decided I would go to the store. I dried myself off, got dressed and started preparing to leave. After a few minutes, I arrived at the store and made my way inside. Once I got inside I went to the cold section and picked up some milk. While I was over there, I noticed they had a sale going for eggs. I thought to myself "I am running low on eggs" and decided to buy some.

We can go farther.

Hey how was your day?

Bought stuff.

BTW I hate that when people do one to two words answers. I get it...not interested? I won't bother you then.

Apparently there is some "quote exploit" to go beyond 3000. I don't know how it works.

Being an alleged exploit, that sounds ban-risky, but aside that: Quotes don't help you go beyond 3000. They actually eat up your characters.

Literally just edit your post. This is no character limit.

True, but it seems an unnecessary inconvenience that ought to swish-swish-aroo its way out of here.

Or just get to the point already

This basically is the point, or rather, points. The problem is when you're trying to catch up on a thread and want to reply to multiple posts. Even if you try and make concise points, if there's several things to reply to you're going to hit the limit and have to screw around with edits.

Unless we want to do away with actual discussion and just move everything to Tweet style EVERYWHERE, where everything is just done via strict one liners and like/dislike votes unless you're invested enough to set up hosting and a site and literally link a full scale article?

I expect this is more of a culture clash. I guess you can always tell which of us grew up on authors like King, Bradley, Tolkien, Jordan, and Carey. Yanno, "never use one word when ten will do"

Honestly, I agree with this. You made your point with less words than me. Good stuff.
