:) 50 characters keeps it nice and simple. it fits into the homepage, vacation alerts, and friend status on your My Friends table. sometimes less is more?
A Very Minor Suggestion
Sort:
Speaking of very minor suggestions... Erik, uh, the hat erik... in a tiny icon it looks like maybe you're going as Martha Washington for halloween...
Well, recently a random, "witty", chess-related quip popped into my head. I wanted to share it somehow, but in an appropriate manner (ie. NOT a forum topic just saying "Hey guys, listen to this: ".)
I thought, where more perfect to post such a thing than in my Chess.com status?
Alas, I was shot down in flames by an unexpected gremlin; a 50-character limit.
50 may sound like alot, but it comes down to an average of only about 10 words. I believe a slight increment to this would be very helpful, and certainly not detrimental to the site. So c'mon Erik; let's talk 150. haha.
