Dear mods,

Why was the DC Trivia thread closed? It didn't appear to be in bad taste, it was 8000 posts deep, it was posted to regularly, and it was one of the main reasons I visit this site.

(I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this post, I figured that the mod who closed the thread might be in charge of the DC Comics fora, and might see it here.)

Thanks for your time,

Presumably because there were two of them. Likewise, two of the three Marvel Trivia threads have been closed off.

What Carabas said.

In addition, the threads have somewhat degraded into a buddy-fest for just a few people, namely JTR. As such, 3 or 4 people dominated 3 threads that as a result constantly hovered at the top of the comic forum, bumping other broader/current discussions down.

Besides that, when a thread gets to be 8000 posts long, it severly impacts the server and processing speeds. Thread like that which are actively engaged by many people we allow. But for a thread that large to slow down the server just so 3 or 4 people could banter wasn't an efficient use of our bandwidth and server capacity.

Thanks for asking.

Thanks for the answer.

Though, the reason "because there were more than one of that thread" for closing that thread probably wouldn't fly very well with the people in all those Mafia games. : )

Well, I'd say so - each question asked was different. (With the exception of questions re-asked to see if anyone would notice.) The content was wide-ranging, so I consider that equivalent to the different content found in the Mafia games. I'm biased, though, naturally.

I dig the need to ease up on server activity. I was just curious why it happened so silently.

Mafia games > DC Trivia threads

Mafia games are the only reason several members even frequent the site, and considering many of those members are donors, the site isn't doing too badly by hosting the games.

I joined the site just to play mafia. And then I became a Gold Donor. I know several people who have done that.

HOORAY! I love you, Truffle! You're my favorite female member right under Shel! *hugs*

Note: I also enjoy mafia games.

Heck, goodman and michiganj24 also became Silver Donors because of mafia.

Which they almost definately would.

I really should upgrade my subscription for Mafia related purposes. Gotta wait around for Double Donor Days again.

And then shortly after you became a Gold Donor, since you're apparently made of money, you lost the Purple and Green dress I gave you. Irresponsible!

I feel for you. I have 1000 PM space, and I clean out my PM Box daily. How can you do it with only a bronze donorship?
