Amended policy regarding closing threads at 500 posts

[Sicy]

In the past, on going threads that reached 500 posts were closed and a new thread could be started.

The reason being, these large threads are taxing to the server/bandwidth every time they are opened/accessed.

Since we just moved to a new server I'd like to try a trial of letting them go to 1000 then closing them.

We'll see how this goes for a while, and if everything goes smoothly, in the future we may not need to close them at all.

[Sicy]

oh my where is that thread now?

It's in the 'deleted' threads forum. It was THAT taxing on the server lol.

This should be very interesting to see happen.
I hope it works, as it would 'cut down' on creating so-ooo many new threads !!

Did it really have that many replies to it?


I wish it was still available for viewing. There's things from long ago that I want to look up.

and thanks for posting the picture. There was some debate a while back as to the original thread title.

Me too.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

[*browneyedgirl*]

Yeah! cool beans

 

[Galeongirl]

did a thread reach 1000 yet??? we're at 800 currently in Pgp... that was a pain to catch up on! damn you timezones!

 

[indra]

I guess I'm the only one who actually liked the threads being closed at 500. I mean with leaving them open until 1000 posts the thread naming opportunities are cut in half.

 

[snowbunny00774]

the bars naming opportunites were already cut in half


Sicy giving the smackdown though? - worth it

 

[waynetravis]

i just realised that this will piss Doozer off. she will have to wait longer now to make new threads in Out of Control

 

[RedRocksU2]

So true.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

1000 post here we come!!!!
