Ok now that we have the money issue sorted out, we need to kick off the summer with a posting marathon? Anyone up for a suggestion on when the best dates would be?
You're going to crash the database or, more likely, get this topic deleted. MySQL can't handle topics with thousands of pages. Once you get to 10000+ pages (assuming 40 posts per page), the topic will be ****ing up the database very badly, if FFR's servers are anything like any other sites'.
As an example, SomethingAwful locks threads that reach 100 pages. The million post thread is at almost 5000 pages right now.
I'm not saying this to be an asshole. I'm saying it because it's the truth. A thread with a million posts is NOT a good idea in any way, shape, or form.
How do you prevent people from going back and deleting some random post to make it look like they got the millionth or the 100000th or whatever when they really got the 100001st?

Hey, I am new to the FFR forums and am really excited about the 1 MIL GET thread. I just hope it lasts. How can i get a PMS- account do i just make one and then I am in or is there more to it. I would like to help get to 1,000.000 posts in a single thread.

Yes, I am aware that stupider, let alone stupiderer, is not a word.
Aren't you in the PMS- So I can keep this account and make another and only use that one in the 1 MIL GET thread. Am i right there or am i completely off base.

Well, I'm sure the posting won't be that slow when it gets up there. It'll probably be a flurry of quick replys creating new pages by the second. If anything was going to mess with the database, that many people quick replying all at once could probably do it.
