All regiment & mess hall threads capped at 100 pages

Yeah, this. It is pretty sane.

There is no alterior motive to this. If they didn't do it, there'd be a thread here demanding FSE to make the forums less slow.

Why not HEY! take sometime and delete the 50 pages of shit locked thread's and disbanded regiments

We tried this when I was a mod in the summer. People of course objected, and it was only done in a limited amount.

Honestly. Look at the 93rd's thread. Now there's two of them. Two of those beautiful things taking up more space than just the one would. It's not as if having a new thread will stop people from posting on it... Also, when the new thread gets to 100 pages, do we have to start yet another? Three threads with the same space-hogging OP? What's the logic behind this?

This.

[InfamousBeats]

Exactly, look I am happy to share all my 93rd love, but the question is, like Frith says, does the 101st page strain the servers more than the 2nd page???


Edit: one thing I am 100% sure of, is that my 1st page is waaaay more straining than page 101

[FrithBiscuit]

There are 83 pages of regiments with like 70 pages of inactive/locked threads. Perhaps delete the ones that haven't been active for 2 years?

I also don't understand how thread pages could cause wear on the server, we don't live in 2005.

WHAT YEAR IS IT

[FrithBiscuit]

let's get this to a 100 pages so it gets locked

Ye

"I have an idea to put less strain on the servers"

"Oh what's that fellow oppressive FSE moderator?"

"Let's DOUBLE the number of threads on regiment's board!"

"You smart! NO, YOU A GENIUS"

qft (with screwed up date ftw)

[Shredder]

Maybe they're doing it to stop people from spam posting to reach a certain number of pages? If people have to make new threads every 100 pages, they'd be less likely to go for those page milestones.

[InfamousBeats]

I will be now aiming to own 25 100-post-threads. My October resolution

[FrithBiscuit]

"Who can be the first to get three threads?!"

[Griffian]

Maybe they're doing it to stop people from spam posting to reach a certain number of pages? If people have to make new threads every 100 pages, they'd be less likely to go for those page milestones.

Or maybe people would start going at it harder to get the highest Mk. thread? 63meme would be on Mk.IX now and 44th would be on Mk.IIII.

[NickyJ]

Even without that, there are still going to be double the threads now. Instead of spamming threads for every 100 pages, they'll be spamming for new threads. "LOOK AT US, WE HAVE 10 THREADS WOOOOOOOOOO"
