People paid for PM storage space in the past?

[Tavrobel]

Premium Memberships.

Oh mine, I didn't know or else I won't make this proposal. Sorry for everything though.

I think the last person that cared about premium memberships was Aerith's Knight.

2^10. Not random.

Still sounds random.

What is the significance of 2 and 10?

BOSS cept my puter doesn't open CVS files and PM .txt would be dreadful. I think my puter does open XML in word. I'd have to check. Would just be easier to be able to save them as .word.

In computer science, every power of 2 is significant. It's how binary works; it's a system of true/false switches represented by zeroes and ones. More often than not, things that are done electronically usually have a limit of something that is 2^X, where X may be any integer greater than or equal to zero, or in certain other cases, 2^X-1 (this phenomenon is because legitimate array values may start from zero). In either case, it's worth knowing that 255 is one less than 256, which is 2^8. Powers of two raised to other powers of two are even more significant, such as 2^16, which equals 65536. If you'll notice, SS and FS have a maximum PM limit of 65535, which is 2^16-1.

tl;dr

Because the Mayan number system is based on 20, and 2*10 = 20. Duh.

This is why I don't take anything involving calendars and math.
