This is getting out of hand

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.

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

100??? close them at 60!!

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

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.

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

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

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

Ahh, now cat wrestling.... 😂

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

yes I am KJ, so what??

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