In game I run a few moderated channels – essentially non-chat channels with help and information for EVE Online pilots.

The channels I run are:

**Rookie Infopedia** – Useful info for rookies, newbies and returning veterans in one place  
**Pilot Infopedia** – Useful info for all EVE Online pilots in one place  
**Fittings Encyclopedia** – All the fitting channels you need in one place  
**Overview Encyclopedia** – Useful overview channels and info in one place

I also run two channels that are still a bit of a work in progress:

**Industry Encyclopedia** – Useful Industry and Planetary Industry (PI) info in one place  
**PvE Encyclopedia** – Useful Player Versus Environment (PvE) info in one place

Lastly I also run the **Disabled Players Lounge** – designed to be a cool non-judgemental space for disabled players to hang out and discuss anything that relates to playing EVE with a disability, or indeed, disability generally.

At the moment all of the MOTDs of these channels are reasonably chunky (_to cram in as much info as I can_). The snuggest one is on is on 3670/4000 with just 330 characters left.

To enable longer MOTDs I’ve posted requests for the character limit to be expanded to 8,000 characters – which would match the in-game email limit – into the Council Of Stellar Management Assembly Hall here: [MOTDs and/or Shareable Notebook Pages](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/motds-and-or-shareable-notebook-pages/465964) and also into the Little things / Small QoL suggestions thread here: [Suggestion: Expanded MOTD Character Count](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/little-things-small-qol-suggestions-old/3545/4001).

If you felt able to to support one or both of these threads with likes and/or comments I’d be very grateful. Obviously the more support they get, the more likely that a change will happen.

A few years ago at Fanfest, this issue was raised in a Q+A session (_if my memory is right, I think it might have been by @Kshal_Aideron - forgive me if I’ve got this wrong!_).

For various reasons I’m unable to attend Fanfest, but if you could mention it to any Devs and CCP’ers to keep the issue ‘_live_’ and potentially under review, I’d be very grateful, thanks.
