Haha... I was expecting one of the usual "Community is gay LOL".

This is funny and possibly even a real problem, Maybe Hubski should raise the character limit and replace the last chars with "..." if it takes up too much space?

Anyway, welcome to Hubski! :)

There's probably a technical reason for it. My guess would be each character adds more bulk to the user database.

Maybe. I'd doubt it though because most sensible programmers would only access the name when it needs to be displayed to a user.

I don't do much web design though, and almost no serverside things so I could be wrong :P
