Hi Misotu. What do you mean there is a 150 posts limit?
The previous topic had 174 posts and there are some other bigger topics. Is this true? Because I hate multiple topics just for the same game.

Yes, there is a limit of 150 posts for a single thread. I believe it was introduced because longer threads were very slow to load and caused problems.

Sorry if you'd prefer one long thread, but seriously a new, shorter thread will load faster which is quite a help for people with slower connections. And I've included links to/from, so people can go back through the history very easily.

cheers!

I think Misotu that this has to do with the size of each page and not with the size of the topic. A one page long topic with many posts would be much slower to load than a multi-page topic where the last page has just a couple of posts . It's matter of page size and not topic size. Simple HTML stuff.
I have sent an email to MarkG asking about it. When he will reply I will know if I am right or wrong.
Thanks for the trouble, trully, but without misunderstanding, wouldn't be better to ask me first? Sorry man, I hate to criticize good will actions but I think it would be better to consult me first. Sorry .
I hope not to discouraged you from any future advice from an old SMAC PBEM player like you to a youngblood like me .

Well, it's all a question of taste. I used to get fed up with people posting to say "you should start a new thread, nah nah nah" without taking the trouble to do anything about it Impossible to anticipate what will rile people, I guess ...

You're going to have to have a new thread some time. If you object to me starting it, then start a new one for yourself. No skin off my nose, and just to remove all doubt, I don't have a problem with distinguishing post number from post size. But I guess when defining a rule, post number is easier to measure ... though for the pedants among us, it still leaves room for some debate

Sorry, but I'm feeling snippy today. What a time-waste, Keygen ...

Meaning?

I like single long topics

How many pages do you think it would be take a PBEM?
With not to much diplomacy. 40-50?

Damn long

Well, I think the debate has an answer Keygen. Congrats ... we now have a permanent topic posted at the top of this board as a result of your efforts.

Like I said, what a time-waste ...

You shouldn't take everything literally Misotu!
There is a word called sarcasm .
I don't see any reason why we should continue arguing for such an unimportant issue.
I told you I prefer all posts to be in a single topic. I asked MarkG about it and got my answer. We all got that answer I guess .
Well, 150 posts? Why not? Who cares!
As you said, what a time-waste .

It is true, a pirate vessel of our have sighted the University colonies. Plans underway for formal diplomatic negotiations. We also brought a gift to ensure smooth discussions!

Get out the Rum! (Hmm, not sure if those intellectual types drink, better pack some tea just in case).

At last, we recover from the side effects of our mini-population-boom, and send our move on.
