I've seen this forum lay-out over and over again. The only reason we are being limited in text-amount is because it'll prompt us to post on the open forum and make things seem more active then they actually are.
But just for the heck of it...why are we limited to just 1,000 characters?? I hate it...

But seriously, when you get a PM it's nice to be able to answer w/o the bs of having to decide to exchange email addresses. Plus, with email addresses you can find IP addresses, and then people might discover some of us are currently residing at mental institutions.
This is America & the Internet; it's my right to Beyotch about dumb policy. I say, lift the 1k limit.

well considering you already blew your cover by making that argument..
I kinda agree though.. sometimes I have had to send two PMs to say what I want to say. I don't want to start doing the email thing, I hardly ever check my email.
It's probably a database constraint placed. My guess, without looking at the code, would be that the site is using databases to store and send the messages. So basically, whoever made the table in the database probably placed a 1000 char limitation on the column. However, I think if the programmer actually stores the text message inside the database is making a huge mistake. My approach would be to make a column that links to a file name, then access the file to display the text, instead of storing the text directly on the database. I'd imagine the same constraints are placed inside the actual forum text.
