I would have thought we did that around page 2. All those mentions of bodily emissions must have offended someone.

Cheers Max - nice one (I did wonder why our beloved Grey Room was closed...
 )
Dammit - I thought we'd finally succeeded in offending somebody

Of course most of these threads are no longer topic discussions, but general purpose chat rooms ... the *perfect* solution would be to automatically delete old posts, so that only the - for example - 2000 most current posts remain.

Anyway .... it's kind of logic that thread with too much replies are closed because the main subject of discussion is often not more the subject discussed after 1000 posts anyway.
So as a performance best practices and a better organization of our topics and threads, it's an overall improvement to the site and forum. Thanks for your understanding and continuous support Max |

It is a good think that post counts won't be affected because hiding all the Velvet Room/Suede Room threads would probably make James a n00b again.

^^thanks to Max and Bob for all the time and effort you have put into resolving these issues....it is very greatly appreciated, and this seams to be a relatively small price to pay for our continued enjoyment...

Thanks Bob - as I just told Max, it's no problem at all to simply close and re-start threads with more frequency if that helps site performance.

In his continuing efforts to stabilise the site, and make visiting it an enjoyable and trouble free experience, M@x has identified that very large threads are contributing to the issues currently being experienced.
As a result, threads with more than 4000 responses have been closed and hidden.
Please accept the apologies of M@x for this, he does appreciate the popularity of these threads. Post counts will not be affected by this action.
It goes without saying that new threads on the same topics may be started to continue the discussion. Please note though that in future it is likely that when a thread reaches 4000 posts, it will be locked and hidden automatically to safeguard the site performance.
This measure will be in place until further notice, but hopefully will not need to be permanent.
