[OOC] General News

So that's the real reason for the length limit... I didn't know about that news ticker thing until recently when the ns region's link to the forum was removed and a link to the main selene.online website was added so that we'd have to go through that to get to the forums, I'd guess that was the intention of that move as I wouldn't have known that there's an actual main site if that wasn't done, and otherwise would have no idea what you meant by the news ticker, and would have forgotten that Herald is a real word and not just an uncommon male name.

Not quite. Flash News was started as a way of sharing quick news that don't necessarily deserve full articles. For instance: "Justinian Kalominos turned 169 yesterday. He celebrated with an exclusive party in Kalominos Palace." A couple of weeks ago, Noveaux pointed out that having a news ticker in the website of The Byzantium Herald would be cool. I agreed, so I installed one, and decided that we would fill it with Flash News posts. It really is as simple as that.
