Why can't I quote certain posts?

[Boom Boss]

Sometimes I want to reply to somebody, and there is no quote button on their post.

Oh no, it's happening again!

Next time try looking through the board you're actually posting in, newfag.

Because you're a post-merge nigga

@Bender discovered it's to do with the length of the post. If it's over 1800 characters you won't be able to reply to it, I think was the gist.

I'm not post-merge, and I see it happening, too. And don't tell me to copy-paste, or bbcode shit, I use the quote button because I'm a lazy, stupid nigger, and don't feel like doing that shit.

1008 characters including BBCode, but close enough.

It's such a weird number I'm curious why it was chosen, or how it accidentally ended up being the limit.

Because Null is extremely triggered by people quoting full posts so he always has to fuck with the quote function.

I occasionally go dyslexic so I'm gonna guess my brain switched out a 0 with the 8. But yes.

I'd guess it was accidental or random since it started after Null left. Just some random glitch.

Posts that can't be quoted also seem to not show up in search results.
