Listening to the Voices in My Head

I got this rather stupid reason for why they are limiting the tags. It's for 'performance related issues'. I don't buy that for a second.

Why?

Because searching for subjects, interests, users would be even more difficult, and that's not being stopped or limited, is it?

Bets this becomes a 'if you want extra, pays us' issue?

EDIT

They are trying to tell me that the interest searches are limited. Not buying it and here is why:

Yes, it might only kick back 1000 hits, BUT it (pay attention here) has to search through users until it gets 1000 hits which I still say nails their 'resources' a helluva lot harder than kicking back 10 entries of mine (or anyones) with one unique tag.

Limiting Tags to 1000?
What gives with that???? 1000 might seem like a lot, but after going on 5 years, almost 4000 entries in my OWN journal, not counting how many posts in the communities I am a member of, 1000 is not enough.

I looked at the amount of tags, and they tally up to less than 15k... 15 k, not 15 megs. Some of my posts have been bigger than that. I will delete a photograph of equal or greater size if necessary.

Please remove the restriction on tags for posts. I had some that I posted that were in a thread, only to find out the tags i had thought were there to quick find them hadn't gone on due to this 1000 limit.

Please, remove it.

Thank you.

Betting they will do the usual.

For weeks, I had been using Trillian Jabber for LJTalk, without a hitch. Also installed Gizmo for giggles. Both showed who was online, and correctly echoed my online status on my profile page.

Suddenly, I notice that when I connect with Trillian to LJTalk, peoples online status shows for a brief moment, then they all drop offline, and profile page says I am offline. If I use Gizmo, it connects, shows no one online, and again incorrectly echoes my online status.

So, after doing all the techie stuff I know how, and reading, bite the bullet and email LJ Support. I think they sometimes read the requests in "Cliff Note" fashion. (not reading it all, just parts)
( what transpired )

Now I know I am not the only person asking for help, but geeze, if you are going to add your 2 cents, at least read the ENTIRE support request?
