When to start a new PbP thread...

[MerakSpielman]

Is there a rule of etiquette of when to start a new PbP thread (to continue the same game)? Mine is onto its tenth page or so... And we've really just gotten to the first level of the dungeon.

When do you all kill your old thread and start a new one?

Is there a rule of etiquette of when to start a new PbP thread?

Well, no, not really. Do what you feel works. I stop after 300 posts at some time, to keep my threads clean and easy to find information from. Some people go upwards to around 700. Nobody looks down on threads, but the load time when a thread gets larger is higher.

However, the old-rule, from the old forum (before we moved to cyberstreet) was 200 posts per thread maximum. Nowadays we like to limit it to 400-450, but nobody has a problem with a thread till it hits 900 or more. The hivemind threads are shut down between 600-750.

Whatever you want to do will work.

The hivemind threads are shut down between 600-750.

So, about 3-4 days, then?

ICCG is almost to 900 posts, I've been thinking of shutting it down and starting a new thread some time soon...can you believe it?

872 posts already geez...posting fiends...

hey, kit.. You know your PBP Ettiquette thread that got stickied to the top? Maybe you could add something about this into there, eh?

OH, and I'm thinking maybe after this dojo scene is done, it's night-time, we bunker down, etc... Excellent place to start a day-2 thread, wouldn't you say?

These have been random nerve firings brought to you by your unfriendly neighbourhood vampire.
