Could I ask a small Christmas favour of MNHQ ?

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

I know it's early, but I have already encountered a few posters who have come up with a perfect name change, only to be thwarted by the 30 character maximum.

Could we have a little Christmas charity from you lovely people and maybe move the maximum to 40 or 45? Even temporarily ?

Then we could all incorporate our original names into our christmas names with festive abandon.

Thanks.

I desperately wanted to to be YouKnowNothingOfTheAmazingMumsnetTeamWhoAreDefinitelyTheMostestChristmassyiestPeopleEver

But I can't :(. So sad.

And it had such elegant tautology too.

@ YouKnowStuffing, very good.
Duly noted, I will flag up and let you know.

I liked how it was both festive and succinct :o

Thanks Rebecca.

Yay! Thanks Rebecca, you were always our favourite you know.

Ooh, yes! I want ChickensHaveNoSympathyForTurkeys but am 2 characters over :(

I simply have to be 'NotACreatureStirredNotEvenAMouseface' 'cos Bitter made the name work just for me and we are friends and everything. Please Miss.

PPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSEEE! Pretty please with cheese on. I have been sooooooo good this year [angelic face emoticon]

Sorry to go all pedantic, but it should be 'NotACreatureWasStirringNotEvenAMouseFace'

Sorry, but we'll be keeping the current limits. The longer names would get truncated and you wouldn't be able to see them, with the way things currently are!

Oh Adam. :(. You've let us down. Not only yourself, but your family, and all those who may follow :( 'tis a sad day

:o. Love you really.

Tsk. So you're not prepared to re-configure the boards for Christmas, just to indulge us? Well really. Do you know who we are?

disgraceful, do you not quake at our feet? after all, WE swayed the election donchaknow. and we had nick clegg in tears. and we got DC a bollocking from his missus.

just get back to sorting out the mobile site for everyone who isn't stupid rich enough to fork out for an iphone, there's a love...

Furry muff though. No point having a name you can't see!!

Adam????? is there really an Adam on the board of govs at mumsnet towers ......trust a bloke to not let us have christmas names of more than 30characters .

jollyoldstnicksunhappywithadamtechsdecisionchick

humph.

Speaking of which... those statuses- have they disappeared now then? Why is that?

Well. I've had to actually think and readjust my crimbo name. I hope you're pleased with yourself

oh yes - I noticed that the statuses (statusi?!) have gone. I wonder why that is? MamaG won't be pleased.

Yes, we're afraid the status things are broken for the moment. They're on our List of Things to Fix.
