They all get closed at 175 posts

Every single thread regardless of topic closes once it gets to 175 posts. I have seen some get to 185 but that is people are already typing before the post closes. All kinds of threads reach 175.

175 replies is the limit, however if multiple people are responding to the thread at the same time it can get over 175.

I think I have seen into the 180’s but not much more.

"209: The last person to post on this thread WINS a game of Cribbage and Tiddlywinks at night with -midnight-"

Sounds like a most capital offer.

i wasnt looking for the longest thread, just curiosity having seen how quickly one thread was closed and others seemed to take a while, even with higher number of posts.

i wondered, if it was a moderator thing where they stepped in before it got to far out of hand

Some of them are made unnecessarily long by constant re-quoting of already long previous comments plus all the replies thereto.

This can be obviated by draconian editing by follow up posters which, if carried out sensibly, does not alter the sense of previous posts. It just saves us from having to read the same thing over and over again.

To set an arbitrary cut off of, say 175 posts makes a nonsense of of the the term '...got too long'.

Only a word count can define 'too long'.

It’s off to a slow start but I reckon this thread is a slow burner…

Who's to say an opinion is wrong? Because it's not a popular opinion?

Not where we seem to be...

The most posts I've seen on a thread was well over 240, but that was a concentrated and coordinated effort by a lot of people.
