Choose more than one rm skill?

Hello :3
I know it's a few weeks now since we can choose our best rm skill but I cant actually say that I'm the best in this area if I'm super good in the other one too. It's a cool feature but I'd like to ask if we could make it like in the german forum; we can choose "skills" (the thing is that we can choose several ones):
drawing, pixel art, mapping, scripting, music, a bit of everything or even nothing.
I think it would be really nice to choose more than one skill~ but it could also be that we can only choose one here on purpose, if so then I'd like to know why? Well, it's just a suggestion ;) If theres already a short discussion in a thread just show me the link because Im curious~

Hrm... I always felt like being equally skilled in at least two of those fields would qualify you to be a "jack of trades". Other than that, just choose the skill you're best in or the one you're using the most. Drawing more than writing? Guess you're an artist. Composing more than drawing? Well, you be a musician now. I think one skill's enough, since we all can identify with one of them perfectly. :)

I agree with @Kaimen . That would be a Jack of all trades.

As stated, you can choose jack of all trades. However, I don't really want the ability to choose from multiple ones as it will increase the size of the user display on the forums. I feel it is already pretty large, and having it any larger would make it too much for posts with a larger post count. If you have 20 people posted, the forum would then have slower load times because of the size of the userbars, as well as a lot more content to scroll through. Adding 5 pixels to the userbar with 20 posts will be 100 extra pixels to scroll through, as well as the fact that userbars takes a bit of resource power to manage. This is why I'm trying to refrain from adding any extra content to the userbar unless need be.

Thank you though, for your suggestion. As always, I am grateful for you taking the time out of your day to share with us your views on the site, and voicing your concerns. It means a lot, and all suggestions, and questions helps everyone grow as a whole.

No problem ;3 I think a lot (especially when i should learn physics) Since I'm often here with my phone I don't see the user display (only mood, staff, name but you probably know XD) but when i get on with my laptop it is indeed very long on some. I forget about that sometimes. @Xyphien don't worry you're doing a great job and the community is cool ;) we're all thankful for this.
