    What is with the insanely long names?

    Insanely long names are driving me crazy ! I Can't hardly read thread titles because people with 24+ character names are causing the , thread starter ,and last person to post columns to be huge , and in turn the thread title colmun is shortened to accomodate these huge names!


    Is it just me or is 24+ character names a bit excessive?
    anyone else notice this ?

    No..
    Someone had a insanely long name description a while ago, so I know how annoying it can be.

    24 characts should fit fine in space given now though..

    EDIT- What screen resolution are you at?

        Same here. And 24+ is INSANELY long!! I've noticed the bumping too, but the only name I can specifically remember is "Clay Henry Eats at Subway." lol it's a cool name, but waaaaaay too long...

                          Brak let's see .. last time I checked 4 was less than 24 , let me know if it changes though . As for adult swim shows I prefer Sealab 2021 but still I approve of your name .

                          I really could care less what most people put as their "handle" but when it negatively affects other people's viewing of AO , then I feel those affected should voice their concerns . How long will it be before more people have 24+ character names leaving us people, with slow computers running at 800x600 resolution, screwed?
