topics that go to 100 posts?? c'mon people, I know you want your topic to be popular, but pretty soon it gets off topic, people start talking about what types of animals they eat, or something else. I request that someone start closing topic. I'm really surprised that UBH didn't do anything about when he posted the other day.

theEviljedi
We close topics once they reach 100.And those things just pop in from time to time.Nothing really to worry about.

Jedi Mercenary
100??? close them at 60!!

Jedi Mercenary
hhmm.. the bail organa topic didn't close at 100

theEviljedi
The Bail section didn't close because our 3 moderators are busy with personal matters. It will be soon enough. And having 100 as the limit is perfectly fine..

The nature of discussion is that the topic will gradually evolves and changes, however I do agree that a lot of the long runing topics have gone very much into general discussion and jokes.

I will hold my hand up and say YES, I am as guilty as the next person with that. But when something starts up that catches peoples funnybones it does tend to snowball.

However if a topic is still relatively serious and still on a Star Wars line then I personally don't believe it should be closed, unless of course the topic is duplicating somewhere else.

As for the number of posts ina topic, 100 is a good number I think and it's at the discression of the Admins/Mods if they wish to let it go over.

One thing to remember, this is no longer really just a discussion forum, it has developped into a samll community of individuals who are getting to know eack other, forming online frieddships and enjoying a sence on comradery on the internet.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

King Jedi
I like it the way it is. 100 posts is about right.

Jedi Mercenary
but don't you see?? When topics get into the higher number range, the subject changes to something else, like cat wrestling

theEviljedi
Even if the limit was 60 there would still be humor added in.

Ratcat
Ahh, now cat wrestling.... laughing out loud

King Jedi
If the topic gets cut too short then the conversation spills over into another topic anyway. I don't think there should be any limit, but if there needs to be one then 100posts is about right.

Jedi Mercenary
c'mon, if it goes down to 60, there will be no more non topic posts.

theEviljedi
Yor wrong JediM. People will still do what they want to do no matter how long or short the topic is.

Jedi Mercenary
you're right, I'm sorry, I'm no activist I guess....

Dim
It's not going down to sixty...and there's nothing wrong with going a little off topic every once in a while..if members are having fun it promotes a sense of communtity..I think that's far more valuable than keeping a "clean" topic.

Ratcat
Yes that's right, OK who has a good recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Oops! Went off topic. laughing out loud

King Jedi
JM - Your last two posts on this subject were posted within three minutes of each other. Stop trying to get your post number up!! It doesn't matter.

Ratcat
I'd just like to say that majorities normally win out in these situations and the majority opinion is to leave it as is.

I suggest the JC discuss it based on the facts and make their decision.

I will now humbly withdraw from this topic.

Jedi Mercenary
yes I am KJ, so what??

Dim
Pointless posts are discouraged and deleted...smile So when you post just to post and not to contribute it won't help your post count.

Jedi Mercenary
actually I was being sarcastic, I have been posting ALOT lately, and I did think that I was going to be a master, but it doesn't matter to me anymore

Ratcat
Just like a small pond, eh Dim....

Dim
huh?...pond's whatza?

Xizor
CLOSE THIS TOPIC!!!!! YOU"RE ALL OUT OF CONTROL AND OF TOPIC!!!! YEAHHHHH!! CLOSE IT NOW BEFORE IT GETS TO LARGE!!!!!!!!

Dim
Hehehe...Let us know what you think Xiz laughing out loud

UnknownBountyHunter
I agree with Dim. If it goes way off topic, and somewhat into the sheer nonsense and sickness topics, then I close it. Its not going down to 60, sorry JM.

Ratcat
Dim, small pond = SHALLOW

Darth Daft
How about we go down to a maximum of 10 posts? Yeah that would be fun.

Dim
OH hahahaha, don't give anyone ideas...wink

Jedi Mercenary
Well, Dim, it's time to put this topic in a leather sack and throw it in a river(in other words, close it)

Ratcat
Oh yes, cos Merc says so, that's a good reason.

I know, let it run to 500 posts and then start a "Son of..." topic
