Can you please please please stop making beans that have page limits for the contest's end. It's an unruly time limit and when the adoptables are as popular as these, it gets filled extremely quick. I had one example when I was trying for one but as I posted the form, it allowed me, I check back into my posts to see that I was the last post 3 pages after the "page limit" when I had clicked the reply button 2 pages before the limit. I was really disappointed. To add to this, I recently noticed that some adoptables are not allowing reserve/WIP posts, while still having the page limit. That is extremely hard on many people, in particular mobile users.
I liked it when it was nice and simple, a form, some rules and an end date.
I'm sorry I have to be such a downer. I'm thinking of starting up my Marants again.

I just have a little to add to this - I'm starting to do longer forms, and it is truly annoying when you try to post a form you've worked on for half an hour or more only to find you can't enter it. Maybe there could be a rule that the contest has to be open for 24 hours before the artist can do a page limit/end date? Although I do want whatever is easiest for the artists, so that's just a suggestion.

I'm going to have to back this up as well. The page limit is especially hard for those of us in different time zones. I've missed beans before because I was asleep. :c It's also hard for those of us who post for a bean with a page limit before the limit, then losing inspiration for the bean after the page limit has been reached. I've posted for beans a couple of times now with page limits then lost inspiration for them a few days later. This makes me feel pretty guilty for dropping out and depriving someone of an application slot. I mostly only posted because there was a page limit and I didn't want to lose my place for a potential JBD. Most of the time I take a day or so to think about if I really want the bean I'm applying for. It'd be nice if the applications were open for a limited time (like say two or three days), like Pure Dragon said. That way, people could think about if they really wanted the bean and drop out or not post if they found that they didn't.
Sorry if this is considered spam. I just wanted to get my own two cents in.
...As an example of how long it takes for some of us to type something, by the way, three people just posted right before I posted this. xD;;
