I saw the post limit before.

I like this post on the one you shared:

> [@The MEGATOPIC: public good, or public menace?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-megatopic-public-good-or-public-menace/85592/16):

> The SitePoint vBulletin forums had a few “mega threads”. But they were not what I’d call discussions. A few were “game” threads which were more post-to-post where there was no presumption that anyone would read every post from first to last. And there was a catch-all Introductions intended to consolidate multiple “Hi, I’m new here” threads. There were also some “opinion” threads which were little more than a series of “I like \_\_ best” with a sprinkling of substance here and there. I guess wheth…

The forum I am referring to is [Chief Delphi](https://www.chiefdelphi.com/), a forum for FIRST robotics. It transitioned to Discourse in 2019. The thread I am referring to I think was actually closed before the transition, but in any regard, wasn’t particularly close to 10k before it.

As I understand, the limit can be switched off too, so still wondering if anything exceeds that 51k. A lot of larger topics it seems like have been split retroactively or automatically by the plugin mentioned in your topic, so I don’t really count those, since there are a few ones like that on Chief Delphi.

I should clarify, I’m not the admin or a mod of the forum, just someone asking around for info.
