Threads dying at 1000 posts?? Why?

[magimedi]

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.

oh yes On the SCD threads we shuffle like on air from one thread to the next. Watch and learn.

Yes, I knew you were cross with me.

I don't feel it was impolite.

I could have said, "well, if you don't like it, eff off" which is the more usual response you could expect here, but I didn't.

You don't turn up somewhere new then start slagging it off, do you ? That's impolite.

It's like going to see someone's new house or decor and then slating it. To coin another phrase from here, it's not cricket.

Don't regard sites like children.

Sites can be cock badgery & need kicking sometimes. Children don't. (need kicking but can be arse wipes at times).

I'm off - I am about to lose an hour of sleep. Can't cope with this clock-wittery.

PS Reminds self to look at Master chef thread in morning. I love MC.

Aww, bless you, Maryz. No need to defend me !

Sigh.

EmZed, I be behaviourmanaging woeful teens and tweens.

It's been ruining my eves.

Come live avec moi, purlease?

Nah, don't help that Chaos out. She's mean. She's slaughtering me on Words With Friends

or not highlighting your posts in lovely pastel shades? It's a basic requirement.

You're like me, Maryz. Don't like change. [bugrin]

I do have the 100 posts per thread and bookmarking, but only because I find threads easier to read that way.

How do you manage without bookmarking where you are or where you have read to on a thread ? Or am I getting lazy as I head towards 40 ?

I also do the highlighting thing too. The OPs are blue, MNHQ's bright blue and mine are a lovely pale shade of pink-ish-ness.

[not an old gimmer just yet]

I have lavender. It both highlights and balances the 'preview messages' and 'post messages' icons. Prissy, yes.

I never preview. Hence why usually in a fast-moving thread there are tons of posts from me posting corrections.

I wish my fingers worked as quickly as my thoughts.

I have forty teenagers downstairs doing the Macarena
Kill me now.

Mine are lavender and OP's a mossy green. It's very organic

oh join them. You fuddy duddy.

I went down earlier, they insisted on hugging me, drink has been taken and I have the fear.

I dare you to go down and put the Birdie Song on, or some Black Lace.

DC having an end of term party. Tents up in the garden and everything, lots of shrieking and screeching going on.
