Not entirely correct, but mostly I agree. But more importantly: no, I don't think this is an issue. 

 

Number of threads have nothing to do with the memory used in the database.

 

Another factor to take in mind anyway is that most of the users open the thread from the "latest replies" box at the top of the home page. So a higher number of threads opened also means that other threads will disappear from the latest replies box. And once a thread opened for a news disappear from the latest replies block very few users will see it.

 

The number of the latest replies is right now 10 threads, it can be changed to whatever number so maybe in the future we could increase to 12 or 15 threads, but not too much otherwise the home page becomes too long to scroll down.

Yeah, the website was down yesterday for most of the users because of an issue with the "registrar". We needed to confirm the identity of the owner but the e-mail connected to the account was from the

It's been a while since I last logged on  to Totallympics  - 2 weeks actually. I must apologize for leaving  the volleyball topics without updates and of course generally being not even logged in.

I agree it shouldn't be too long, but maybe 15 would be ok. Of course I can't speak for the rest, but I think I'm missing half of the potentially (for me) interesting posts because I usually just look at the 'Latest replies' section :p 

 

And good that the number of threads has nothing to do with the memory, as I thought, so threads for big news like the Nassar case aren't a problem :)

They could be a problem because someone anyway will have to decide whether any news "deserve" a thread or should go in the discussion thread. To avoid users wake up in the morning and open a thread about what they ate for breakfast.

 

Anyway, latest replies box increased to 12 threads for the moment, we might upgrade to 15 in the future.

That's the entirely opposite extreme situation, but yeah. Anyway, I doubt it would be that bad and if users would feel more free to open threads like this* that might look a lot more 'inviting' towards new users.

 

 

*this = like the US Gymnastics thread, not like a 'I ate bread for breakfast' thread

I have again problems with the emoticon limits, this time in the Team size theared

 

I have fixed the post but I can not remove the maximum 75 emoticons per post limit, for future additions instead of adding the flag manually, copy it from another thread (for example the 2016 team sizes thread, where there are all the flags you need ;) )

      We never beat Canada in the WJC so yeah that would be a major upset... we were mega close in that goddamned quarterfinal when Bedard "Bellinghamed" us in the last overtime minute. I doubt we will be any closer of that in the next decade.   won in all its history only 3 matches in world juniors preliminary Round and never over a top tier nation so this win over Canada in CAN is certainly one of the biggest upsets of this sport comparable to - QF in Salt Lake or - Katowice madness or Squaw Valley MOI

      The Italian team bought a wax- bus from Sweden before the season and acquired head of their serviceman, so maybe that's the reason? The investment hasn`t been successful so far, because there is still a void beyond Pellegrino and these young skiers aren`t mentally ready for a tough fight.   Once there was a skier from Poland - Justyna Kowalczyk, who fought with the whole coalition of Norwegians at that time: Bjoergen, Johaug etc. Thanks to her strong psyche she was able to win difficult finishes with Bjoergen. Diggins is doing the same now - she gives 120%. This is the only way you can win with Norwegians. Apart from Pellegrino I don't see anyone in our team who has the ambition and the will to fight.

      Diggins and Pellegrino have never had great physical conditions but their mental have always been on point. The entire American team is brave and ambitious. On the other hand the Italian team is physically weak and has no ambition. There is no visible will to fight and progress is born in the head- that`s says once Filippo Ganna.
