Hi. I'm not sure, but are there any limit to how many posts a thread can hold before it closes automatically? I believe to have heard someone saying something about closing when it reach 1000 posts, but I don't really believe that. For instance, the Earth II - Revitalization (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=373378) thread have more then 3100 posts. So, are there any limits? In advance, thanks for the help. :)

I don't believe there is any specific limit for those kind of threads, having to do with RP'ing. The only threads that I know that have limitations to them are Paradise Beach, which is closed after 1500 posts.

Paradise Beach, which is closed after 1500 posts.
Paradise Club, 1300 posts.

I don't know if there is a technical limitation on number of posts, but there is at least one thread in Spam (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36473) with 35,509 posts at this writing. I don't think you have to worry about the system shutting you down until you have (2^16 -1) posts. Possibly longer.

Ok. Thanks for the answers people. I appreciate it.

Oh Frisbeeteria? (2^16 -1) posts are a heck of a lot! :D

I hope that its alright to say 'heck'...
