Hm, this happens a lot to me.
Maybe we could post long posts on pastebin.com
And then just embed URL to the post

Code:

[url]http://pastebin.com/mb5brvL8[/url]

There is also pastebinit application that sends the output of a command to pastebin.com
and returns URL

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit

for example

Code:

lspci | pastebinit -b pastebin.com

I've used -b pastebin.com because it defaults to paste.ubuntu.com when used like this

Code:

lspci | pastebinit

This is distro specific. Default is pasebin.com
This command displays the list of all supported pastebins:

Code:

pastebinit -l

There is also an option to send file contents to pastebin

Code:

pastebinit -b pastebin.com -i /path/to/the/file

The only "thing" is that pastes may expire after some time. For example pastes in pastebin.com expire after 30 days.
I'm not sure about how much time do they keep it on paste.ubuntu.com
