Subject: Characters for messages and group news

If you are watching this you have clicked on my profile or stolen this. I dont know why you would do that...

About me? I love Astronomy, I like to play guitar and watch anime. My future lies in Astronomy and so does the future of all of humanity. You should join my Astronomy group Space Explorers.

So I noticed something that confused me, why can you have 10000 characters for a single message while only 3975 characters for group news?

I have almost hit the limit for group news every week now as I make the weekly news for my group and it is restricting my weekly news from becoming better. Meanwhile, I rarely need more than 700 characters for a message. It just seems wrong to me and I feel it should be the opposite where you have 10000 for group news and 3975 for messages.

Does anyone agree with me? Do you ever use more than 10000 characters for a message?

I don't think I have ever sent a message over 200 characters. 3975 seems pretty low for a news post though.

Usually for a PM, most people wouldn't need 10,000 characters. You're making a message - not a thread. That would just be silly.

I do understand for the group news though as I have also complained about that. Hopefully in the new new (new) hawtness, the webteam will increase the character limit for Private News posts.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Well, I love to write, so I kind of agree. I've often hit the 10K limit in posts, news, and even messages; all I would like is an extended character limit for news.
