Why does it close conversations when it has 500+ messages?

#1

I was in the middle of a conversation with @Jo.Author in PM when it closed our messages because we had over 500 messages. Why does this happen? We had to start a new PM because of this. What is the reason for this? It’s kinda annoying because we have all our previous messages on there and to see any we’d have to go back, and it’d eventually be lost under any new messages. :thinking:

Thanks.

Exactly why is it at 500 messages it is closed?

#3

Topics close too, when they reach 10,000 replies.

:open_mouth: really?
Not fair… it closed one of my PM’s too :expressionless:

At least topics shouldn’t get closed.

Probably to keep the server less cluttered. Just imagine everyone with unlimited replies/board posts. The site probably wouldn’t be able to handle it and become super laggy :frowning_face:

i didn’t use the old forums a lot, but they’re trying extra to keep the new ones uncluttered and organized.
