At what post count does a thread lock?

Why was the GMF moved to a new subforum? [QUOTE=iSnubWaitWhat;34012882]At what post count does a thread lock?[/QUOTE] ∞

GMF was moved to a subsection because they're gonna get more of their own forums. Big Threads (3,000+ posts) are closed monthly, so if your thread got closed make a new `January` version.

[QUOTE=garry;34012923]GMF was moved to a subsection because they're gonna get more of their own forums.[/QUOTE] That's a good idea

Was dragon porn megathread supposed to go unpruned or did you just glaze over it?

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;34013196]Was dragon porn megathread supposed to go unpruned or did you just glaze over it?[/QUOTE] I think that all the chat threads were left.

What happened a few months ago, was a lot of posts deleted? As my post count went down a couple thousand

[QUOTE=piranhamatt;34015413]What happened a few months ago, was a lot of posts deleted? As my post count went down a couple thousand[/QUOTE] All posts before 2009 were deleted.

[QUOTE=Jessecar96;34015445]All posts before 2009 were deleted.[/QUOTE] More recently the subforums were changed about, so if you'd posted in where ever love and social advice was, you'd lose the posts from that. That's what I think he means anyhow, as that was more recent.

Did you purposefully misspell gold?

What's the point in moving OIFY to the GM forums? Most people there are blues, aren't they?

never got an answeer to why I never received the gold upgrade i paid for

Why delete posts in the GMod release sections? It's caused alot of lost models.

[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;34018252]1. How do you change thread titles now and 2. Could a mod change the V in [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1152192]this thread[/url]'s title to VII?[/QUOTE] Double click somewhere around the title in the thread list. At least it used to be that.

Um, what exactly happened here? I added a link to the last thread at the end of my OP and then this happened: [img]http://i.imgur.com/WbRN4.png[/img] Thread's here: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1152217[/url]

I think that [release]url=http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Tools]Tools[/release] should be [release][B][[/B]url=http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Tools]Tools[B][/url][/B][/release] ends up looking like this: [release][URL="http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Tools"]Tools[/URL][/release] Looking at that thread though, damn, you sure love release tags. It's easy to get mixed up when you use so many.

Ah, that fixed it, thanks. It's kinda odd cause either that didn't show up like that or I just didn't notice it until after I edited in the link to the previous thread. I thought I had broken something.

It's missing OIFY pinknipple.

[QUOTE=postal;34012862][b]New avatar not displaying?? CLEAR YOUR CACHE, Ctrl-F5.[/b][/QUOTE] What about the preview of the avatar's on the main forum? I've see a couple of people with 3 different avatar's. One for the little preview, one for a post and one for their profile.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;34020275]Someone mentioned something about this in the last thread, it's currently being worked on :v:[/QUOTE] I was hoping this would come around again. It seems to make ratings have more importance.

[QUOTE=Shane Alvarado;34020931]I was hoping this would come around again. It seems to make ratings have more importance.[/QUOTE] Ratings used to be stored like that, I think you got the icon up there for the first rating to reach 50 It and the smartness rating made FP feel like a game, but I liked them anyway :v:
