>>"Hi everyone, threads needed to be locked because folks are not locking their own threads or starting new ones when their threads get too big."
The question becomes, Why were threads over 100 locked in the infidelity forum & some that were much larger left alone in the other forums?
I think you can speak to Puppy and Allen A about this issue if they ever return, apparently the rework may have more to do with censoring certain posts and opinions rather than the forum performance. It's hard on both ends, users feel entitled to their opinions, ideas and ability to communicate freely without censorship, and forum admins and site mgmt may feel that certain opinions and ideas expressed by certain users go against the db principles and may be counter productive to users who rely heavily on db advice.
I'm sad to hear that Puppy and Allen left the forums, I hope they return eventually, the place will not be the same without them. Allen A is a fixture in the infidelity forums, and well Puppy, one of the greatest users to grace these forums based on his advice and contributions and his pay it forward type attitude to this only db community, glad to call him my friend, his presence will be missed.
