GBG’s ID verification service arbitrarily limits middle names length, then fails
Email to customer.support@gbg.com, an ID-verification service in Australia.
Subject: Please increase the length of the middle names field for driver’s licences ID verification
Hi,
I have just spent three anxious days trying to get my ID verified for a loan. The check kept bouncing at the lender’s on my driver’s license.
I finally offered to use a passport, which fortunately worked. However, when I got to do the verification check myself, I thought I’d try to see what was happening with the Driver’s License, so I tried it out first.
tl;dr: the “MIDDLE NAMES” field is required to be no more than 20 characters. I have three middle names, totalling 23 characters. This is why it didn’t work, as the names were fine on my ID documents but, I guess, could never match the truncated data.
I also note that the lender, presumably using a UI from GBG, was not informed of that limitation, and was therefore in the dark as to why the check was failing.
Please refer to https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/, and fix your system.Related posts:

Good news! #GreatBustards found breeding in new location
by Peter Davison, January 24, 2026
"Great bustard nests have been found for the first time on #CranborneChase.
"This week, Cranborne Chase Landscape Trust confirmed that bustard chicks had been found in the designated National Landscape last May.
"The #bustard - the world's heaviest flying bird - was hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but the species was secretly reintroduced to #Wiltshire in 1998 using chicks from Russia.
"The two new nests were found in a field of sainfoin north of the Wylyle Valley, after a farmer informed the Great Bustard Group (#GBG) that he was about to start mowing a crop.
"Since 2004, the GBG has released hundreds of chicks on #SalisburyPlain in Wiltshire.
"As a precaution, two volunteers used drones funded by the government-backed Farming in Protected Landscapes programme to check the field.
"The eggs were rescued under licence, incubated and hand-reared. The birds have since been released back onto nearby Salisbury Plain.
"The trust released a drone image of a bustard sitting on its nest, camouflaged amongst the tall crop.
" 'What it shows is the slow, but steady, expansion of the breeding range of the great bustard - and that the bustards had a good year last year,' said David Waters from the GBG.
"The bird has been Wiltshire's county emblem since Wiltshire Council was established in 2009.
"Speaking to BBC Radio Wiltshire, Waters said the UK population, which is all in Wiltshire, are doing well.
" 'The numbers are going up slowly. But in the rest of the world, many of the Great Bustard species are not doing well,' he added.
" 'They're the only bird in the UK which is globally endangered.' "

Buying #BandCampFriday music online on the last leg from Vienna on the #CPH #GBG train passing tunnel after tunnel is a challenge, but who said it should be easy ... If just #BlueTooth could be stable and not disconnect over and over suddenly blasting music in the silent compartment ... forcing me to use lowest volume ... It could even be tolerable.

🏢 Hochpunkt H auf FRANKLIN feierlich eröffnet🥳
Es ist ein buchstäblicher Höhepunkt im neuen Stadtteil #FRANKLIN in #Mannheim: Am 8. Juli wurde durch die @gbg_unternehmensgruppe der Hochpunkt H feierlich eröffnet. Er ist, nach dem E, der zweite Baustein für die spektakuläre neue Silhouette des Stadtteils.
➡️ Vier Gebäude werden hier zusammen den Schriftzug HOME – auf Deutsch Zuhause – bilden. Die zu Grunde liegende Botschaft der vier Wohnhäuser: All die künftigen Bewohner*innen in ihrem gemeinsamen neuen Zuhause willkommen zu heißen. Zudem wird damit an die amerikanische Geschichte der FRANKLIN-Siedlung erinnert, gleichzeitig entsteht durch die skulpturale Architektur eine identitätsstiftende Skyline des jüngsten Mannheimer Stadtteils.
Oberbürgermeister Christian Specht und GBG-Geschäftsführer Karl-Heinz Frings lobten die architektonische Vision und betonten den Beitrag des Hochpunkts H zur Schaffung von attraktivem Wohnraum. Das Gebäude bietet 122 moderne Wohnungen, darunter Maisonettewohnungen und barrierefreie Einheiten – die Wohnungsgrößen reichen von 45 bis zu 120 Quadratmetern. ✅
Im Sockelgeschoss entstehen zudem Räume für einen vierzügigen, städtischen Kindergarten 👧👦 und verschiedene Gewerbeeinheiten – alles für ein facettenreiches Leben im neuen Stadtteil.

@henriksundstrom Jojo, självklart! Just nu var jag mest ute efter att hålla koll på vad som händer på olika ställen i #Gbg som ordnar evenemang av olika slag. Alla har ett kalendarium och ett nyhetsflöde på sin webbplats, i stort sett ingen serverar det som RSS-flöde.

CW: Pondering the OpenSim grid statistics for May; CW: long (over 7,000 characters)
What really gave me to think when looking at Hypergrid Business' OpenSim statistics for May was the varying discrepancy between active users, Hypergridders included, and land mass on the various grids.
The biggest grids in land mass are both special cases. Being the second-largest grid with 29,248 standard regions, the Wolf Territories Grid is one because it's largely varsims, and at least the mainland is varsims from 4x4 upward. Whereas other grids are dominated by standard-region-sized sims, a typical Wolf Territories sim is 16 of these. Also, @Lone Wolf himself is probably still the owner of the most land in the metaverse. At the same time, the Wolf Territories Grid tops the list of most active grids with 6,232 MAUs.
OSgrid, largest with 32,547 standard regions, easily leaving Second Life in the dust, and second-busiest with 5,186 MAUs, is a special case because it doesn't offer land rentals. Everything that isn't an official sim is attached to the grid and hosted by its users. Size-wise, that goes from single personal sims hosted at home to whole archipelagos of varsims like Tropicana Estates (which used to be a whole lot bigger even) or Nautilus Estates. Technically speaking, OSgrid is the one grid with the most region servers. Also, for this reason, OSgrid's land mass always takes a little dive whenever they do a clean-up and remove dead sims from their map because many don't shut their sims down properly when removing them. At the same time, of course, OSgrid is a popular destination for Hypergridders even beyond parking your avatar at Lbsa Plaza.
Now let's take a look at some other grids.
Kitely is the third-largest grid with 18,077 standard regions, but the 20th-busiest grid with only 627 MAU. But it's a popular builders' grid due to its stability. Kitely's trick to cope with that much land is to shut all sims down when they aren't populated and start them up again when someone wants to enter them, a trick that was later re-implemented by DreamGrid.
ZetaWorlds is the fourth-largest grid with 12,910 standard regions, but only the 21st-busiest grid with only 596 MAU. I doubt that this includes the 3rd Wind community. Still, one reason ZetaWorlds is so large and underpopulated is its huge ocean, consisting of dozens upon dozens of varsims; I think it was 3x3s. It's so big that it takes well over five minutes to cross in a motor boat at full speed. Even Stark, a nudism-encouraging archipelago of 14 4x4 vars, that's still 224 standard regions in the hands of three owners, doesn't make up a large percentage of ZetaWorlds' land area. The lack of MAU can be explained by ZetaWorlds not letting avatars from lots of grids in for reliability reasons.
Alternate Metaverse is actually balanced. It's the fifth-busiest grid with 2,025 MAU and the fifth-largest grid with 10,178 standard regions. This may not seem balanced, but AMV residents love to build big, too. Grid owners Cataplexia Numbers and Clifford Hanger seem to almost always build vars because they always need lots of room. Welcome and Annex are exceptions because they're practically entirely indoors. Chris McCracken builds vars so big that even he gets lost without a proper map. And AMV was where Jimmy Olsen inflated Norway-themed Alfheim from an already respectable 4x4 with lots of details to a 10x10 giant before it sadly vanished. At the same time, AMV has loads of events which also attract Hypergridders.
GroovyVerse, sixth-largest at 7,837 standard regions and 23rd-busiest with only 514 MAUs, is a community effort in building a whole lot of land. It's actually building a sim-crossing railway network which by now may be larger than the one in the Wolf Territories, and that one already takes quite some time to travel.
One reason for the lack of activity may be because only few sims are advertised on OpenSimWorld, and so only few people know about them in the first place. That's partly because of @Hyacinth 🏳️⚧️ ☮️'s very justified love-hate relationship towards OSW to say the least. In fact, she "loves" OSW so much that she is working on an alternative to replace it.
Shoalwater Bay is another interesting case: The tenth-largest grid with 1,072 standard regions isn't even in the top 25 of busiest grids. The reason becomes apparent if you look at its grid map, and the grid name is a dead giveaway: It's a sailing grid with only 49 adjacent sims, six of which are 8x8 vars, the other 43 being 4x4 vars. Over half a dozen sims don't even seem to have any actual land on them.
The GBG Metaverse, formerly GreekLife Breath Grid, is the opposite case. It's the third-busiest grid with 2,239 MAU, but only the tenth-largest grid with only 956 standard regions. This is astounding for two reasons. One, GBG is the result of two grid mergers. First, the Tranquility Grid was merged into the younger Little Breath Grid. And then Little Breath merged with GreekLife. Two, GreekLife used to make renting at least one sim mandatory for every resident. GBG has switched to a different model: Your inventory is limited to 5,000 items unless you rent land or donate. Still, I wonder where the discrepancy comes from, seeing as GBG doesn't have any super-popular events or freebie sims.
Even more extreme: Darkheart's Playground and WaterSplash are number seven and eight in MAU, both between 1,600 and 1,700. But neither is even in the top 40 of largest grids. However, both are famous for one very popular freebie sim each, Darkheart's Boutiques and iPleasure respectively, the latter being the home of the R. Lion "brand". I think both grids have only got about half a dozen sims each or so. So either the stats are vastly dominated by Hypergridders, or people create alts on these grid to make grubbing freebies and passing them on to their mains easier and circumvent grid blocks. For example, AFAIK, ZetaWorlds has blocked both, and in the case of Darkheart's Playground, the block is mutual. I'd really like to see the faces of the users when they discover that most content offered on both grids is no-transfer.
Last but not least, Neverworld makes me wonder, too. It reported 1,101 MAUs, ranking ninth, on only 343 standard regions, ranking 22th. And that's considering this grid is mostly vars, too. Most of it is joined together in one big mainland connected by a network of streets. A lot of it is owned by grid owner Govega Sachertorte and split into parcels for everyone to rent for free, even Hypergridders. Still, most of that land is vacant, maybe also because you can't set your home out in the Hypergrid, so it isn't quite useful as a dwelling-place unless you're a Neverworlder. What probably causes the most traffic, however, are Nexus Storm's several large freebie sims.
