    using Itemizer 1.3

    This has been a really fun plugin for our server!  Everybody is using it and loves it!

    However, people have been trying some really long names, not sure exactly how long because we don't want to experiment with long names too much.

    Sometimes people get into a state where they can't login, sometimes they crash the server.

    It would be good to have a limit, but I'm not sure how long that limit should be.  Maybe start off with 25 characters?

    I don't know whether or not I should limit the length or Bukkit should limit the length. I think I'll ask Bukkit first.

    I recommend 64 characters, and to fix the peoples inventory you can go into Server>World>Player>[playername] Open this with Notepad + + and rename the item from within the playerfile to where it does not crash the server anymore, this might be late, but is a good hint for future players
