Sarcasm, eh? Well...
There is, of course, no magic number of posts for closure, not that I'm aware of, and I've read the policy, as have we all (I hope).
If someone posts one topic with an enormous graphic in it, it's going to take a long time to load, therefore
one post could be enough to close a thread for excessive length.
I don't want to see a magic number: "Oo, oo! I gotta post this quick, they're about to close the thread!" Administration calls 'em as they see 'em, and if one or two slip by (in the opinions of the members) then, oh well, that'll happen. (Tribute to Rich, right there
)
My "Occupation" thread was closed for length, but I didn't take it personally. And I've never seen a long thread closed without the Administrator saying "Feel free to start a new thread tilted 'New Thread II'."
BTW, I
begged the
membership to let the "Assualt Tuna" thread die a merciful death,
but
NOOOOOOOO
you guys keep the thing on a heart/lung machine, and I just
have to keep reading it 'cause it makes me laugh until I feel like I'm going to puke! I mean I can't be expected to exercise my own selective judgement, now can I!!!
