When/why did the minimum message size increase from 6 characters to 10?

(not complaining, just intrigued)

Sorry I didn't return my questionnaire on time - slightly worried about questions 9 and 10.

9 "Do you wear formal dress when browsing the forum?"

10 "Would you prefer it if we made wearing formal dress compulsory between 1800 and 2300? :lolno:

When - a few days ago

Why - because there is an update to the software that will be coming in soon and it needs to be changed for that
