No thread is allowed above 100 pages, because it fucks up the pruning algorithm.
Wait... I thought that 100+ pages were okay now?
There have been a handful of ginourmous (200+ page) threads, but really not many. The last I remember was the Final G+T Chat Thread, although I hear rumors of one in the mod-only board that's larger.

We're constantly on the lookout for that one. Whippy has a special harpoon for it, and everything.

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
That's the way I've always handled it, even on forums that didn't have a 100 page limit we'd kill them and re-start after they went a little over that.
What I do is skim through the last three pages of a thread in the seventies or up. If it's mostly chat and no real discussion then the crystal is flashing, time to renew.

But we tend to lock them a bit earlier.

These have all been manually locked, though.

Just to make it cleaner and force OP updates?
it's usually 50 pages for ease of use for people coming into the thread. do you want to read 200 pages to catch up? i don't, and nor does anyone else.

This isn't the "I don't like your name" forum though, so shut up.

G&T threads usually seem to go up to 100 pages if nothing happens to get them locked. I wouldn't worry about it now.
Limiting thread length keeps everything current, tidy, and readable.
That's a pretty infantile analysis.. but I like 50 page caps.
