Osreb, I'm pleased that you have decided to cooperate with us, and by "us" I think I speak for most of those guys like Sal32, Zeban, etc who host and try to manage large threads. OCC is big enough for everyone, and there is no limit on the number of threads you could author yourself if you wanted to.
Remember mcp1275? Sometimes he posted with such a fury that we almost had to pull on his reins, too. You guys are so enthusiastic sometimes, it can be hard to say there is a need for some control....
But.........I don't want to see "thread abandonment" as you call it become a regular occurance here, or worse - OCC abandonment. So maybe we have found a way to keep everyone happy while still posting basically what they want when they want....
