test
I’m so bad at obeying instructions :eek:
What do you bet this ends up being the longest running thread in doper history? 
Quit werkin’ your reverse logic on me, aah1973!
(And welcome to the boards!)
Why not will we get a bug if we open? :eek:
Abby
P.S. Welcome to the board. 
You had to throw down the gauntlet, didn’t you…
Who-hooo! I’m posting!
ahem
Carry on…
Welcome to the board Gallows!
Abby
Test post. Nuthin’ really interesting to read from mine. Just a sig check, that’s all . . .
Tripler
Nope, not a damn thing. Trust me, I just read it.
well I came this far, I may as well post too . . .
So by posting here have we passed or failed the test?
TEST
Hey, thats like deja vu all over again.
ahh1973, what was the purpose of your test?
Ahh, 1973, I remember it well, that’s the year when uh…well maybe I don’t remember it too well, but I do remember I was there.
I think.
That was cruel.
Longer’n “Guy Stuff”? Naaah. Last thing to come close was “The Last Word”, started by BornDodgy and locked after 20 pages.
“Guy Stuff” got to 21 pages, I think. Thatsalottaposts!
Oh come on! Where’s that doper spirit? We can do it, we can break the 21-page barrier if we all believe!

That’s the spirit! Now all we need is 20 more pages and for the thread to remain stable and for it to open correctly after 5 pages or so and not take 17 years to load and for the mods to not close it down when vB starts acting all screwy and. . …
Geez, what a spoilsport I am.
A question: Is there a set number of pages a thread is allowed to go before a Mod closes it? Or do they wait for the thread to start acting suspiciously before it gets closed?
O.K., that was two questions.
Very good aah1973 - our secret code seems to be working. As long as that wretched kabbes doesnt turn up, our scheme will succeed, I’m sure. Now in reply:
NOTE: other Dopers please stop posting - this is private stuff here!

OK Redboss, I won’t post. You have my word.
D’OH! 
21 pages? That’s all? Esprix’s “Ask the Gay Guy” has gone to well over thirty, in its various incarnations.
Ten pages appears to be the limit that the board can handle gracefully, so that’s usually where we lock them. Not that it’s ever happened in GQ.
If you think that’s bad, though, I’ve seen other boards (using proprietary software) where a single thread could go as long as 500 pages. We’re talking individual threads bigger than all of Comments on Staff Reports.
