I dunno if this has been touched yet, this is my first time asking a mod anything, and I also apologize if this is a dumb question...again, first timer here.
Ahem...
I have always wondered why for some topics (such as Benoit, or the Post a Pic threads)the thread is shut down once it hits page 30 and then another is started? Wouldn't it save room to let the thread go until either it slows down or actually DOES hit the limit? I mean, you do it for the RAW threads and while I do see the point in letting a thread for a live show run, why does that not apply elsewhere?
Not trying to come across as complaining, just curious.

Given the amount of traffic here (I run a proboard for a philanthropic organization too) I imagine it'd kill the board if they let the threads get too large. Again, I'm speculating, but I imagine this is also one of the reasons there's a size limit and picture limit on signatures. Mods, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand the point in sig and picture limits, but would it seriously take up more room to let a thread go instead of shutting it down. Wouldn't 2 threads with 30 pages each take up as much or more room?

It's a size thing. The larger a thread, the harder it becomes for the board to handle it. When people get really active in a large thread, it causes whatever forum it's in to have a seizure. Thus we keep the threads maintained to a certain size to try to avoid that.

And if I remember right, the reason the RAW threads are allowed to go past 30 is because they grow so fast and it usually resets itself anyway?

I guess that's vaguely correct...the amount of traffic is part of the reason (aside from RAW sucking the meat missile 80% of the show, but that's neither here nor there) I quit participating in the RAW threads. I also remember on several occaisions that the RAW threads caused the board to break...now, if that's because we went to 175 threads one night or not is a technical thing I don't know about. MC, care to shed any light?

Well, I just figured the mods never messed with the RAW threads because usually when it gets around 30-50 it goes back down to like 7 or something all on it's own. But then again, I haven't participated in a RAW thread since I first signed my WC Forums membership card.

Pretty sure someone's resetting the Raw threads.

I created an account for an E-fed character last night, and I am awaiting approval for it. The unsername is Exner. If whomever has the power to approve accounts could approve that account, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have a question regarding my thread (it's linked in my previous post).
Now, I agree that thread got out of control, but if this congressional hearing were to happen, does that mean we couldn't talk about it because it's not a storyline thing? I mean, it's potential current events for the entire WWE.
Sorry if that comes off as snarky or something. I just really want to know whether or not such a subject would be off-limits if it actually comes up.

That's going to be on a case-by-case basis. For the most part, it will most likely deal with the legal aspects of it all, which can be discussed here.

As someone who was part of that thread, I have to say that the thread itself had merit. I tried to dance around the whole republican v democrat thing. But it kept getting brought up, despite me trying to convince the guy that is was a matter of right v wrong, as opposed to right v left. Hopefully there's no ill will toward my input to the thread.

Look guys, when I said "case by case" I did not in any way support ANYTHING regarding supporting/attacking political parties. That is and WILL REMAIN taboo here. If CONGRESS gets involved, you can talk about CONGRESS getting involved. If someone introduces a bill or something IN REGARDS TO WRESTLING, we can discuss that the bill is introduced.
What we WILL NOT DO is get into political parties. Ever.
