We maxed out one thread for the sake of doing it... more recently, we've been asked to limit the size of threads to around 5,000... and we try to do that, though sometimes we get to talking and neglect the time ;~D.
We of the UT (Undead Thread and progecny) OTOH, live to just expand the thread.
There is honor bestowed upon those who get doubles ('00), triples ('000) and the very rare quads ('0,000')
Dead Corpse has the uncanny ability to score those more than anyone else (he also got the covereted Last Post). But we are pretty sure he has a time machine, but one limited to a few seconds (sort of like a reverse TIVO). Or at least that is my theory.
