Just before changing the setting… it might be worth looking at this too 😊 > [@The MEGATOPIC: public good, or public menace?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-megatopic-public-good-or-public-menace/85592): > > When we founded Discourse in 2013, I had the idea that we’d support topics of any length or size, from 10 replies to 100 to 10,000 to 100,000 or even more! A few years ago we ran into a technical limitation where we send down a list of all the post IDs in the topic when you enter the topic. This starts to cause problems on the client – particularly older smartphones with less memory and CPU power – at around ~10,000 replies, so we created a site setting that automatically closes topic… You are able to change defaults as you like, but just sharing so you can be aware of implications and/or alternatives. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-max-discussion-comments/95227)._
