tagging and what is wrong with my brain?

[certainthings]

This whole 1000 tag limit thing? Ahahahaha. *breathes* *rocks back and forth*

I already have over 1000 tags. Like, a LOT over. bitter_crimson said that I had 2068.

I've since deleted a handful, and am continuing to delete more but I don't know that I'll be able to get under 1000 and I NEED MOAR tags.

Oh God. *breathes more*

So, I'm going through entries and deleting and changing tags and what not and just now I see this "I keep having random Sam Winchester/Britney Spears thoughts." What? Why? How come I don't remember these thoughts? Were they full on !crack or ... other?

Ugh, I suck. Where does one delete tags? And WTF, did LJ put a cap on tags just recently?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it must be a new thing.

[devidarkwolf.livejournal.com]

Thanks. All their new changes are kind of uncool.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

We should mock them.

[gretazreta.livejournal.com]

I can totally imagine the programmers putting together the tag code, and sitting around going "hey, we need to have some sort of limit as a parameter" and someone going "god, make it 1000 and lets go to lunch" because NOBODY ever thought ANYONE would ever need anything near that amount.

Ahaha I love your tags insanely, it seems a shame you can't use some of mine. I've got, like, 15.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Wow. *steals some of your tag space*

[annella.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 1000 TAGS? D: D: D: FUCKERS.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hear hear

[katysam.livejournal.com]

*sends oxygen*

Wowzers! 2068 different tags IS impressive! You did delete the 'I keep having random Sam Winchester/Britney Spears thoughts' tag, right? I mean, you won't be needing it again, right? Right? *shudders*

I read yesterday they'd implemented a limit on the number of tags per journal and my first thoughts were of you... *sends more oxygen*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Oh, I didn't have a Sam Winchester/Britney Spears tag, that was just in an entry. *nods*

[madeleneg.livejournal.com]

What? What happens if you have over 1000 already then? And hm, do you know where you can see how many tags you have right now, or do you really have to like sit down and count them? *looks at lists* That would take a loooong time.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

If you have over the amount, you can't add more tags. :(

I'm not exactly sure but she did some copy and paste thing with the tags and turned the bulleted list into a numbered list. *isn't very helpful*

[ellel.livejournal.com]

2068?!That is...A LOT of tags!
Especially compared to me,I have 7!:D
*hides in shame*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like tagging. It's possible I have some sort of addiction.

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Well that's not very fair. You should get to have as many tags as you want.

I wonder how many I have.

[r-a-l-i-g-h.livejournal.com]

128 (http://killerweasel.livejournal.com/tag/).

[r-a-l-i-g-h.livejournal.com]

Also - hi. *waves*

We don't know each other, but I just butted into the conversation because I do that sometimes. (It's how Smidge and I met, in fact)

Question: Are you a fan of The Dresden Files tv series as well as the books?

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Hiya. :)

Ireally enjoyed the tv series, was very bummed out that they didn't pick it up for a second season. And i absolutely love the books. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

S'not fair at all. I wonder if there'll be an outcry and then we'll get more.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

There's a limit?! THEY'RE PUTTING A CAP ON OUR SPECIFICITY? O woe and alas and other Shakespearean laments! (I'm in a dramatic mood, what can I say?) This seriously makes my anal retentive side scream in agony.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's seriously making me kind of nauseous. I can't NOT have new tags. This is just NONSENSE!

[fiddleyoumust.livejournal.com]

I think I remeber that! But only in a vague, it might be kind of hot, way.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I kind of remember my Britney Spears/T-Bag thoughts but not Sam and her. It could've been kind of hot.

[r-a-l-i-g-h.livejournal.com]

I already have over 1000 tags. Like, a LOT over. bitter_crimson said that I had 2068.
It's down to 1663 this morning.

26 of which start with “jared” (and 21 with “jensen”)

(also? 9 “dave” or “david”, 10 “gay”, 7 “hockey”, 9 “michael”/”mike”, and 13 “jon”/”john”/”johnny”/”jonathan”)

Of course, your tag list still takes up THIRTY-SEVEN freakin' PAGES in Word.

(also? contains nearly 6600 words, for an average of 3.96 words per tag)

(I can't HELP it!! I'm a statistician at heart.

It's only by very hard work (and a much smaller IQ/lack of an eidetic memory) that I don't sound off like Reid ALL the time.)

I would suggest you start things like combining your duplicate/typo/semi-redundant tags (yes, I know part of the fun is having semi-redundant tags – but two THOUSAND of them?)

For instance:

explanation point vs. no explanation point
(!crack and crack
ack and ack!
boys and boys!
etc)

typos:
(amber bensen/benson
grey’s/greys’ anatomy
etc)

To "s" or not to "s"?:
(commercial(s)
icon(s)
picture(s)
pretty boy(s) (Clearly, you have something of a theme!)
etc)







And now I feel like I deserve to be labeled with one of your four stalker/stalking tags. =(
extra space(s):
(dean and sam / deanandsam
la la la / lalala
etc)

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

This is the best comment I have seen all day.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

And yeah, that's one of the things I'm going through, along with the deleting - fixing the typos and combining things and the such.

God, it's so much WORK!

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

I love your brain.
*licks*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*squiggles*

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

What? Your tags are sometimes the best part of my day, they should not make you delete some of them! *shakes fist at lj*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hee. That sort of makes my insides all warm. I don't have to delete any of the ones I have - but if I want new ones, then I have to get below 1000. Which, I don't know if that'll be possible.

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

Oh, weird. I didn't know that LJ had implemented a 1000 tag limit, either. (Well, haha, I probably didn't know 'cause I'm still pretty far away from that, heh.) That seems completely unnecessary. I mean, c'mon, all the extra data they've gotta store for a tag is like, a short string of characters and then the entries it links to. Neither of these is a LARGE amount of data, even if you had, like, 10,000 tags or something. LAME, LJ, LAME.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

AMEN!

[mooyoo.livejournal.com]

Okay, this I don't get. Why the sudden limit on tags? I assume it has something to do with this adult settings thing, but what do tags have to do that?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew.

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

there is a limit to tags? O__O is this old news or it's a new thing..like that retarded flag thing?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's a new thing.

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, after I posted the comment, I read the comments and your previous post.. I have ~750 tags right now. O.o LJ is going crazy. :( This flagging system makes me paranoid, too.. not that I post stuff that could be flagged but I friended everyone back and a lot of ppl don't even use their LJs so I'm thinking cutting those cause uhh.. you know me.. *is paranoid*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm totally paranoid about new people friending me just so they can be assholes and flag me.

*hides with you*

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

it sucks. :( I think I've decided.. gonna cut ze flist right now.

Goodbye Michelle, it was nice to meet you. *waves*










HAHAHAHA. Such a lame joke, I know. Like I'd ever cut you. ♥

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahah. You know for a moment ... for a small moment, I was worried.

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

wahh.. come on. You should know better! <3

I've just unfriended ~140 people. O.o ..plus a few communties while I was at it, hahaha. OMGOD.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP!

Do you feel better for it?

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

I..kinda.. do. Yes.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Good good. :)

[zsuness.livejournal.com]

wow and do I feel like an ass for joking. *hugs you* Sorry. I LOVE YOU, you know that, right? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Nono, please don't. I like the joking.

I love the idea of it but it appears to be far too complicated for my computer simple brain to understand how to work.
