Hey guys. Are any of you aware of this...
"Update from Webmaster Alex
Sorry for the delay on this, we had to have a piece of software custom written to cut up the existing long threads.
We have also decided how to handle long threads moving forward:
1. Threads will be closed at 250 pages (3750 posts)
2. Any existing thread over 250 pages will be locked as is.
3. The really long threads that were removed will come back over the next week or so. I have to shut the boards down to cut them up so I will try to do it during "off hours". We are also trying index them so people will be able to reference them. "
I just happend to come by this and we are only 12 pages away from 250. Mabey we should come up with an alternate form of communication since I'm sure we'll hit this limit pretty soon.
I agree!!
JorDan--WTG on getting your magnets laminated for FREE!! I'm sure it was a stressful situation in the beginning, though.
Trying to save on the # of posts, so I'll just edit this one!! Can we just start a new one and name it "part 2" like some of the longer ones do? I wonder what happened to them going until 25,000 or so. Bummer!!
I was just getting ready to mention that. Here is what they recommend in the next post on that sticky:
Folks, a few guidelines on this newer ruling.
If your meet thread is getting close to reaching the 3750 number, there's something you can do to make it easier.
Decide among yourselves who is going to start the new thread continuing and get it rolling near the end number.
Report the thread that is at the limit with a request for it to be closed. We'll get it from there.
We will of course be closing threads that go over the cap, but we'd rather let your group be involved in this, will make it easier for everyone
