So with SL being around for ten years now, I think it's about time that a few small things get updated. Technology has literally advanced ten years since it's conception. 2005 to 2015, and we're on the verge of making VR a thing, with AR already being pretty common for those who can afford it. Let that sink in a bit.
Character limits
Right now, character limits are as follows.
250 for short bios
800 for additional (if I remember correctly)
25 for eye and hair color
250 for posting
25 for custom titles
I believe that these should be expanded a bit now, since even a fine toaster can browse SL now. Heck, a Raspberry Pi ($35 mini-computer) can browse SL faster and easier than a 2005 comp. Here are my proposals for character expansion.
500 for short bios
2000 for additional
50 for eye and hair color
750 for posting (or maybe 1000, but either one will help to spur on RP, which will help to spur activity)
50 for custom titles
Some of these and others I failed to mention are negotiable with the community.
Bio avatar limits
260x260 is the current limit, and has always been. This is fine for back in 2005 when monitors were 1280x960 or anywhere near that resolution. But now the average desktop computer usually has a 1920x1080 monitor. Even smartphones have a greater resolution than 2005 monitors. I believe that a new limit should be put. My suggestion would be 500x500, but even I'm iffy on what a good size would be.
Opinions and other suggestions are open for discussion, which is highly encouraged.
