Locks in the forums...

I see several long-time forum threads have been locked/archived because they are too long and creating problems with the website operation.
It's interesting to know they are locked because of length and not for content.

On another site I visit, all the blogs have been archived.
They opened a new site that appears to be dedicated for blogging.
All the individual sites they own had been separate, blogging is now under one umbrella.

I'm finding there are easily 50 new bloggers and no familiar faces.

ConnectingSingles.com is a Minnesota based company, online since 2001, started with a mission of building a quality site, and making it totally free to use.
I think it depends on which mod is on watch

I have had a few threads locked at 8,000 posts..Some of my threads have been locked with fewer posts

All these threads locked at the mo all have different amount of posts so stuffed if I know

Rob loathes people who disagree with him..He has this thing that my bloody government tried to kill him

He believes in the Covid conspiracies and so much more nonsense it's just crazy
I periodically delete my blogs no need for them to be here .
At one time i seem to remember if you had more than one blog on page the others got moved off, thus saving same blogger posting loads.
I delete all phone messages too at the end of each month and photos. grin
In the past, threads were always automatically closed at 50 pages. We have returned to that limit. Some threads have been locked due to limiting their size... not for any other reason
Think there might be a case of selective viewing as the music threads are all there ,and there are many on here that keep going even though it's mainly the OP that posts on them .

dunno
Yea, that a tips to the moderator if they needs more bytes free-
cos those videos take space. Limit those to 5 pages if need be.
I think only the link is stored together with the first frame image, the video remains stored at it's owners data centre. The video isn't downloaded until someone presses play and is stored temporarily in buffers for replays locally which is good but this means that the video must use data in uploading each new time it's played, so six of one... (I say I think because I didn't check)
Merc & rob... I dislike getting my blogs deleted or locked and I don't make it a habit of deleting comments.

The isn't the blog for bitter disagreements...Carry on with your own blog(s) for that.

thumbs up
There are almost 1700 pages of just the blogs, that not many, if any ever look at.
I wonder why they are staying there and not deleted to make room.............wave
That's ok I've asked her not to comment on any of my posts and she ignores that
But don't worry the mod deleted my blog instead
But don't worry the mod deleted my blog instead

Not worried. That happens to all of us at one time or another.

I'm glad you and Merc have worked things out!

thumbs up
Bringing up a blog about locked forum threads that gives us the reason why...
The blog community as a whole has seen comments and blogs randomly disappear. Can you shed any light on that?
Mod. Mod behind the wall..frustrated
..pray tell who be the fairest blogger of
Them all ?
I see the moderator comment about 50 pages is patently inaccurate. The 'some things that are old' blog is unlocked at 80 pages, but the 'Merc here lately' blog has been moderator locked at 82 pages. Just do a sort on the 'order by comments' heading. In fact there have been less unexplained disappearances just these last few days, the one of mine 'disappeared' is quite explicable due to ill-concealed expletives. The Canuck Jesus blog, currently in fourth place, sadly has only reached 25 pages so we can expect to see it getting bumped for another two or three years! laugh
Canuck Jesus blog?...laugh
On 50 pages !.

I believe what can't be said on 5 pages isn't worth reading.

Yes I can copy and paste the whole www on countless pages but for what reason?
My personal opinion.
I tried to sign in last night and the site was down.

Also, I have noticed that the post counts keep changing....mine has gone to zero and then back to the actual number.

And, locked threads are losing counts too...
