Finance Why you are lucky I don't run these forums...

I haven't even looked at it so I don't know who all I'm gonna be offending by saying this...but...if it were up to me I'd ban everybody who has replied to "the longest thread in history".

Why, OuT? It's a part of a competition! I'm sure Scott or Mark would have complained if they didn't like it - the thread is VERY clear about what it is aiming for!

Just part of the Community spirit IMO.

Wonder if Voogru would donate prize to TechIMO??? hehe

Hey, Out, It's not as bad as you think...

Of course, I'm among the guilty!

OuT just wants to be a rebel, that's all.

As I remember long ago back at Sysopt we did determine that a thread could be too long. Eventually it got to a point and wouldn't let people read read the last pages, although it still allowed you to post if you hit reply.

Of course this is different software, but I'm wondering what we're trying to do here....crash the forums? Push the software to it's limits to see if we can break it?

Sorry, but on the surface of it, it just looks silly and juvenille. plus there's that rebel thing too.

also the problem wit ha thread being too long is a problem with Ultimate Bulletin Board (aka the slow and resource hog forum) this software (vBulletin) is much more reliable and faster, and even cheaper than UBB. i seen threads that had as many as 45,000 replies (and i will link to it when i find it) it had over 2300 pages.
