The World of Warcraft General Discussion thread is at almost 8,000 posts. I think that might be the record holder, but I’m not positive. We did a compilation of all the longest threads recently and I’ll try to find it.

> Okay…the [World of Warcraft Questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=498145) thread is getting reaaaally long…29 pages and over 1000 posts.
