Threads dying at 1000 posts?? Why?

107 replies

It just seems so fucking arbitary.

Why can't threads just run to their natural conclusion instead of being beheaded at a certain number?

I can't fathom the reason for this & would be delighted if someone could explain.

Should also have been too big.

I am not techie, but honestly, I can spell. [busmile]

Try loading Nickel's live birth thread (it's the only one I can think of over 1000 posts) it takes fecking ages when your connection is at a low.

Oooh, I was right.

Long threads won't load on my laptop and a message comes up at the bottom of the screen saying "Mumsnet.com can't load due to long running script" or words to that effect.
So I guess that 's why?

MrsVamos · 30/03/2013 22:55

I think it's something to do with them getting to big to keep being loaded ?

Not techie at all. Sorry.

I have only very rarely seen a thread run on. I think there was one very recently, but it had a very specific reason why it ran on.
