EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

So the geek in me wants to know how big threads can get before they are too big? And is it number of posts or amount of text?

Granny posted this on her original thread today before starting her new one.( Granny's gone and done it again ) I highlighted info I think answers your question.

Hi Pamela,

We've contacted the site hosts, Huddler, and asked them to look into the glitches we've been experiencing on the site lately and possible causes. We’re realizing that some of the problems on the site, like the homepage stats getting stuck, may be due to super long threads. To quote the technician:

"Every post adds additional linear cost, there's not really a hard cutoff. But a 150,000 post thread is always more costly than a 50,000 post thread."


Your thread, grannys gone and done it, is one of the longest on the forum at the moment, at 146,436 posts. We LOVE that our members particiapte in these, but we’re wondering if we can work together to start new threads as continuations of the old threads? I.e. start a new thread, calling it say "granny's gone and done it #2" or "granny's gone and done it… continued" and ask the participants on your thread to continue chatting with you over there? We'll keep the old thread on the forum, but we're hoping by making it (and the other yeah long threads) inactive, that the issues may get resolved.

Take care and thank you for what you do here on BYC. We love seeing our members get together like this and chat and make friends and have fun. It's awesome! It's just the technical stuff...

Ok Liz!! Here's my two guineas. Give it to me straight. Since I've never gotten a single egg, I'm not holding a lot of hope.
