Some time in the next few years (if I had to guess, based on the forum not really dying any more than it already has over the last few months) the What's-On-Your-Mind thread will hit 65,536 posts sometime in the next 6 years.

It'll be interesting to see what happens then, but if I had to guess the only interesting thing will be that the page counter ceases to function properly.

"A horrible person". That's what it says. "A horrible person."

We weren't even testing for that.

Ahhh, aren't these kinds of bugs fun?

It somehow reminds me of something else, but I cannot quite remember what it was.

Luckily, the reply counter can be increased.

But then again, I'm not sure if topics need to be that huge.

That would take the fun out of finding out if we can bork an entire board!

I vaguely remember back in 2009, people thought that WOYM (or Jul Pub?) would close after 10000 posts.

The former's been closed a few times, actually.

It just keeps coming back!

I think it was 500. I remember reading a thread with some really cool SMB3 GG codes, and people were bumping it to stop it from being deleted due to being too old, but they also worried about the 500-reply limit.

ah, "old things deletion"

I loathe how something that's old gets deleted on so many places ... and, well, that actually deters me from some places if I know it'll happen...

Same. Pretty much all news sites delete articles more than a few months old, which breaks all kinds of links in threads all over the Internet.

Seriously. Hard drive space is cheap. You don't have to go deleting files like it's 1985.

I know some sites justified closing large threads (and I mean as low as 1000 posts) on the grounds of performance issues- I guess Jul doesn't have those, or at least not at anything to be worried about, given the point WOYM has reached.

In my experience news sites are nowadays more likely to put old articles behind a paywall than to delete it outright... either way makes it inaccessible to me, though. And yeah, forums that delete old posts are annoying... it's nice to be able to look through the archives.

My bet is nothing happens.

Like. At all. It will stop keeping track. But that's it.

Paulguy's Post configuration
or the one where some condition set everyone's status to banned. Kind of an odd heavy-handed error handling gone horribly wrong. I wonder how many more landmines like that there are.

That one was just a missing where clause in an autobahn that was never before triggered.

It lasted a few years before everything went blooey.

At least that's not as destructive as a few years ago when someone missed a digit from a query and deleted 2000 users...

Imagine that happening here.

People like Gabu, Aux, Sofi, Terra... gone in a blink of an eye.

You know, if you shaved off 2000 users here... we'd lose pretty damn much everybody. Just the really early members would remain.

...Makes me wonder just how many low/no activity accounts we have on here, anyway...

Not many of us low number users are around, yeah. Surprisingly almost all the single-digiteers are still around though!

There was the view count in threads too, where the Jul Pub reached early on the whatever cap and then got just hacked in as "a lot", before displaying the correct number.
