I hope you didn't take this the wrong way. I think the standard 8 x 4 is adequate room but that people should provide as much space as they can (I'm in no rush to upgrade my enclosure, but will when I get the opportunity just because I think he would enjoy more space). I have no problem with anyone who keeps one in an 8 x 4 and certainly have no problem with how yours is being kept. Life happens, and sometimes things get a bit delayed but what matters is that you are upgrading the enclosure as soon as possible and that what he is in now is ok short-term.
If I got another monitor I would build the adult enclosure from the get-go and toss in the baby, but I found using grow-up enclosures beneficial when first getting started as I knew what to do differently for the next one.
No one here was being rude. I find sometimes things can be said very bluntly that appear rude, but once questioned turn out to be only simple statements. 'Your enclosure could be better' usually means on here that someone would like to recommend a change because they have found it works good- not to put you down or make you feel bad.
Everyone here is passionate about monitors, and in my mind the more the marrier

Any more photos of the guy? I'm curious on whether its a he or she.
