While I wouldn't argue that it is gone, the 500 limit is not a rule breaking thing.

The 500 limit is a technical thing. We used to have 1000(and before that: none), until [v] noticed that a 1000-page thread was clogging up the server, so she halved it to 500.

That means that at 500 a thread gets closed, but 501 or even 510 won't suddenly be a complete disaster.

The mods that finish prematurely at 495 or so, well, draw your own conclusions :p


At what point should it become rule-breaking? Because, I mean, this here *gestures at the page number* is getting a bit ridiculous.

As it should be, because it is the polite thing to do. Plaster a synthetic smile on your face and keep the real you hidden from sight.

Why don't you un-retire and then close this thread, and retire again? It has to be that easy, right?

Just because the thread may close at any moment doesn't lead a free pass to do whatever.

I doubt it. There will always be someone (excluding me) who might just continue to chat on here, so that option is out of the way.

It's sort of boring. The excitement of seeing what lies beyond the veil has worn off, and I'm getting a bit nervous that me pushing the boundary more will just get me slapped with a warning. See you all on the next episode of TET.
