I’m going to guess that a mod will close this when one cares enough to do so. Which will probably be sooner, rather than later, as this thread has somewhat outlived its original usefulness/purpose. ---

Wow. I feel like I’ve been part of someting historic now. Thank you, **JC** , for this opportunity and **Sprittle** , **N4S** and everyone else for all your hard work. _moi hands out leftover Halloween candy to the Dopers_ I just previewed this post and laughed my ass off at “**This is a long thread. Click [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81654) to review it.**” It’s obviously time for moi to go home. ---

I didn’t really want to say anything. Just getting a post in on page 11 before a mod closes it. (Thus proving to any who doubted that it is DEFINETLY time for a mod to close the thread.) ---

Hey, does anybody else have pictures? I know I saw some folks with cameras. I’d like to see one picture of myself from the front when my head isn’t in a shadow, so I can have two photos of myself in my photo album. 🙂 Warning to bouv: if you show up at the New York Dopefest looking so scrumptilicious, you are going to be violated, molested, and sexually assaulted eleven times over. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of fun! Now I have to ask: Is there some trick to knowing when you’re going to hit the next page? Both Davalicious and Spritle knew. -Sarah, who didn’t figure out the smilies code until well into her second year as a Doper, and someone had to tell her anyway. ---

Sarah, repeat this mantra: 50 posts = 1 page (In the case of a new thread, the OP and 49 replies). You’re welcome. ---

Well gee, we only got 38 more posts to go until page 12! Hell, we can do it! On a related note: I actually plan to show up to NYC Dopefest even MORE scrumptilicious than Dope-A-Ween. _ **YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED** _ ---

The original [Guy Stuff](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=18972&pagenumber=23) thread had 1113 replies - 23 pages - when UncleBeer belatedly closed it on 8/2/00. It was closed because threads that long apparently make the vB software unhappy. I think current policy is to try to close threads at around the 10-page mark. This one seems to have momentarily slipped by, though. 🙂 ---

I feel really dumb now for having made those long, spaced out posts on page 8. Someone could have told me sooner!
