Popular Thread Limits

My internet has been slow past few days (snow in April maybe?) and I'm having troubles viewing certain threads, like the Work in Progress thread and the Photo thread, since they're ridiculously large and contains lots of pictures.

So if there's a limit posted on these threads (rather than just arbitrary limit on the threads, maybe the first post of those threads stating that this thread will be closed when it gets to certain pages), I think the forum would run smoother. I'm thinking of 50 or 100 page limit on those, and the old and closed ones being sent to FAC "Graveyard" section rather than crowding up the prescious pinned topic spaces.

Actually, I like the idea of a "Thread Graveyard" archive section in general.

THe photos threads get closed occasionally as they get large. Any other big threads can also be closed by mods and admins and new ones started. As threads get huge they become more of a load on the server (more posts to sort in the query)

We should definetly get a thread graveyard where we can store all the coll closed threads.
