No more long threads for awhile folks. When a thread hits the 1000 post point please alert a mod and fork it. This might help speed up the machine some - it can't hurt. This morning in dev I ran a query check against the Hivemind thread - 30 seconds to query for it's posts. That is unacceptably high, especially on a board as large as this.

Since I help out with BOZ and Shade in a few of the monster conversions at the Creature Catalog's General Monster Talk forum, a quick glance there shows several 1,000+ post threads, none of them sticky. Does this apply to threads that already hit the threshold or just to those nearing it?

Mods can split the thread, but if I remember right (from doing it a couple hundred times) mistakes can be made and threads can end up shuffled a bit out of order.

I believe I've closed the last of the active 1,000+ threads in General Monster Talk.

What about story hour threads? I'm at a point where I can move to a new one, but it's nice to have a continuous thread for people to find the ongoing story. Some of the threads, like Sagiro's, have been active for years and years, are linked to from numerous places, and are still being updated.

Is this still in effect? The current hive is over.
