I can't be "ObsessTT (6 months left boo hoo hoo)" like I wanted to be.

Damned free car forum.

Default Though they did that, I sent Jason T an e-mail regarding the recent deletions and moderations...

I was happy with his response, and I'm glad to see that Jason continues to use a lot of restraint with respect to the deletion and moderation issue.

So I'll trade fewer characters in the user name for allowing a greater number of characters their freedom of expression any day of the week!

Default I tested it a couple of weeks ago with a few hundred character name, wonder if that's why?

I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone on the year end tally so I tested if I could limit names to 255 chars; I couldn't so I changed the structure.

Default Ah, but you have missed my subtle theme! 7 months was

snif snif, 6 months will be boo hoo hoo, 5 months will be an ever more sad display culminating in TT TTurn-In Day where full hysterics break out!

Nobody ever accused Ivan of not having a plan!
