[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;39732934]What's the point of closing large threads anyway? It can't be for performance reasons because search also goes through old locked threads, so it still has to process the same amount of data.[/QUOTE] And as for that, wouldn't it be less resource heavy to keep posts to less threads? Don't threads take up more space in the database? And come to think of it, does it REALLY make a difference? People are gonna post anyway, regardless of the postlimit, so this sort of procedure seems... unnecessary. On the other hand, I know next to nothing about vBulleting, so...

Could always go back to the original page limit: 75 pages. That seemed to work pretty good.

You can click on the video's name to go to its YouTube page now without viewing to the end. It's been like that for a while now and you might want to edit that OP.

I don't think we'll get an explanation, Garry'll just be his vague dictatorial self. Or we might, I don't know. Hopefully the auto-lock is just being weird now, and we aren't stuck at thirty pages.

It's probably age rather than number of posts, since Garry's started sorting threads by date posted rather than last activity. No point having active posts after the cutoff.

Oh god I need a mod's help quick my thread borked.

garry is finally losing it.

[url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1250057[/url] This thread. I wrote a bunch of stuff for it, and you can see all the stuff I wrote if you just click the reply button, but heaps of it got cut off in the actual post.

[QUOTE=bisousbisous;39733067]garry is finally losing it.[/QUOTE] what [editline]27th February 2013[/editline] it really isn't hard for somebody to talk to garry to change the limit, it's only changing one variable in the autolock hook

I didn't mean make a new megathread. I meant make threads for individual questions/issues. Lets use the forum like a forum.
