Thanks for the detailed response! I did poke around a bit and noticed none of my changes were having any impact. I never really messed with webgl, so didn't notice that was what was doing the rendering. Is webgl MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE something I can set in about:config or elsewhere?

I got my start with BBSes, lots of fond memories. There was one BBS in my area, and they had it setup to RelayNet (similar to FidoNet, but smaller). I knew when they would connect up to exchange, so I would be sure to upload my mail packet and then dial back up 5 minutes after they did their exchange to see if I had any new messages. I could send and reply to messages across the country in a matter of days.

You won't be able to change it manually because it's a hard limit in their webgl implementation. But hopefully they'll increase it later.

We can't mimic the local feel of BBSes on the modern internet but i'm confident we can capture the rest of the experience, and at least have something better than the ad-infested garbage heap we see on the web today :D
