You'll just have to read every single post on the forums, count the character/word length of each one, and report back with us with an answer.

Let's assume, for Devionsa's sake, that the NS forums they're referring to are the forums we're currently inhabiting and exclude the Jolt forums.

It looked even longer before I mod-intervened to insert the spoiler for the list of signatories. To feel the full impact of the original post, unspoiler the signature list.

That wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was expecting War and Peace level syntax.

I would check how big it is without but I'm too lazy and a few of the keys on my laptop keyboard don't work (namely the backspace, enter, up and down arrows). As you could probably see, I had to split it up into three spoilers just to make it easier for those on mobile. Probably not THE biggest post on the site and in hindsight those horizontal lines breaking things up were kind of unnecessary since I could've reworded a few things to make it seem like a proper paragraph but oh well.

Very good poster, but it was bad form to come into our pigsty and debate to near formal standards while we're trying to roll in the filth.

Luziyca wrote:Yeah. I tried to C+P the longest word (all 189,819 letters) a few times to post here, and the maximum character limit on these forums is 60,000. So the single longest post on these forums is probably exactly 60,000 characters, and I'm 100% sure that post is languishing in the mod locker.

That's so obnoxious.

That's because that is the full name of titin (Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine), which is involved in striated muscle formation, if my sources are right.

Though honestly, it was more to see if it'd hit the limit, and sure enough, it did.
