Question is, how big is too big? We'd move without being told if we knew.

There's no perfect answer to this question. We have found that about 5000 replies is where the effects of us operating on a big thread have a noticeable impact on overall site response.

Not sure exactly what is happening, but when a moderator opens a thread, even just to read it, we have a bigger impact on the thread than a typical user does.

So, even if we are not attempting to change anything, we slow FR down for everyone.

If you would create a new thread at about 5000 replies and contact us via abuse report, we can lock the current thread and force replies to the new one.

Thanks

Wow... I had to ask! -But 5,000 is so small! If we are good can we go 10,000? Current thread is at 15,000 with not one known abuse report! ~smiles real friendly like~
