There isn’t a hard upper limit on how many active threads you can start in one forum at a time. That said, fifteen at once is a bit much. We’ve contacted **Zeldar** to ask him to pace his threads out a bit more. Whether or not we close any of the existing threads is up to the CS mods, but it looks like we’re leaning towards leaving them open and letting them drop off the front page normally.
