There were limits before Live Messenger also, and I don't think they have changed.
SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

No you couldn't. There has always been a restriction on the length of the nickname. It never was different.

The length restriction is also not something done by Messenger Plus!, but internally (protocol) by Messenger itself.

Actually, if I remember correctly, this was the reason why some people experienced a whole lot of problems signing into WLM not long ago.

What would happen was that smileys would not count as text in nicknames, yet when the connection was going to be made, every letter or symbol was counted. When the person tried connecting to the server, there was too many characters, making the server encounter difficulties and the person not being able to connect.

All that story to say that even if there was any way to do this, you wouldn't want to do it anyways. :)

In Windows Live Messenger you can add a nickname to whatever contact you whish, the maximum length for this is 40 characters. Way more than enough to have an unique nickname for each contact.
