What triggers a thread to go to a “next page”?
Post Count?, Message size?
It appears to be different in each case.
I don’t need this information for my thesis, but it would sure help cure my intense and overwhelming curiosity.
50 replies per page.

But not this time… Stifled laughter and whispers from all corners: “Hey, it’s that guy! Y’know, the guy who said fifty replies per page!! heheheh”.
