Just two things actually.
1. Help!I'maRock! made a humorous thread about this earlier but I would like to put guitar and music threads in the appropriate on-topic forums. I don't mind if they get started here in the Lounge if you want to make sure people see them but I (or the mods) will be moving them within a few hours to where they really belong. I like posting NGDs and whatnot here too but actual guitar threads should go in Guitars, recording threads in the recording forum, goat threads just get PM'd to EG etc....
2. In order to head off HC-level database degradation I'm going to limit longer threads to 1000 posts. The can be continued in a similarly named thread named "Funny Pic Thread Mk 2" or however you want to do it and we can make sure there is a forwarding link in the last post of the closed thread but it is recommended to vB forum admins to keep threads under 1000 posts. TGP does this and I've read on some of the admin forums I frequent that its just a good idea to keep the page loads faster...I think that the longer threads end up making the database work harder than it needs to and while this is still a small community on a dedicated server its not the most powerful server in the world and our traffic is up over 30% over last month already...I'd like to try and keep the place running as efficiently as I can on my limited IT experience.
