Livewire,
Thanks for replying and considering making this hack
It would be useful because on my boards we sometimes get longs posts with a recurring theme... but once they get to 200 or more replies, it becomes ridiculous to assume anyone is going to read them all and the members participating just start getting "lost" inside the thread. I'd like to limit a thread to say 200 replies... when someone goes and posts #201 a new thread is opened with the same title. The original is closed, with a special graphic that indicates it's reached it's limit (not "closed" but something else maybe - or maybe just an automatic message at the bottom of the closed post that says "reply limit reached, continue
here" with a link to the new thread.
