They have nothing in common and I see no reason for this to be happening... especially since the ECF Rule about Game threads says they have to close @ 1,000 posts... which has nothing to do with a vendor/modder thread!!!
Has the ECF been HACKED???!!!

LOL -- all the threads are becoming large just over this issue! I'm sure it will all be sorted out s o o n. ECF has been good at doing that, when possible, in the past.

That's right, Ripple... you were the last person to post in BOTH of those threads that I saw... It must be YOU doing all of this!!!
So now "Guest" will be the only thread starter on the forum after Part I ?
And I know a couple of suppliers that are not to happy about that.
I thing 'guest' (with no link) is very clever indeed 
. No one to bombard with hundreds of messages or complaints lol. Smart move!

The person that told the program to run. Had it been run on a test server it would of been known what would happen.
Not to mention you want as few people on the server as possable when upgrading. Best if you don't have anyone. They shoud of scheduled this and then closed the site before running.
Seriouslly this is basic system admin knowledge. This never should of never happened.

Hey all, this was an update that took place last night. I'm not sure what happened, but it looks as if it was set to 'live' before it had been configured properly.
Our intention is to have the splitter split the threads when they reach 5000 posts. When configured properly it will credit the original poster, and have links to the old thread from the new thread, and new threads from the old.
The reasoning here is that there is some evidence that very large threads are causing database issues and adding to the overall server load - causing slowdowns at busy periods. This is the first of 3 changes we are going to be making over the next 3 weeks to improve the load speed for everyone.
I'm sorry this happened before an announcement was made.

So we can expect 2 more problems?
Also why are the threads closing at 500 posts, and why is it not all the posts?

OK, well first let me say that I blame J0ker!
In this close knit community I don't believe it is anyones fault and I think its awesome that everyone is looking out for each other! The members and Admins got on this issue very fast and re-assured the community. Upgrades will always need to be performed and their will always be bugs.. Thank you ECF staff for kicking .... and letting us all know its ok!

I'm so totally agree with you
Forgive me.. What "social buttons" are you talkin about? Sorry for being a nub.
Edit:
Totally quoted the wrong person....
Any developer could tell you that a huge thread will not slow down the system. The thread size has nothing to do with anything. A thread is virtual.
Regardless of the post count of a thread, every page query is the same. There's a skip number and a take number. Those two numbers make up the query. The query gets sent to the database, the database returns posts.
The problem lies in either the database or the rendering of the html (ie. too many plugins).
To blame the problem on something that has absolutely no bearing on the rendering of a page is ridiculous.
I read a post by an admin that stated something along the lines of: "More servers/cloud servers will not fix the problem...". And then proceeded to copy paste some words that reeked of "works on my machine". That's a load of you know what.
My guess is that the ECF infrastructure sucks and/or the database is fragmented.
Before you go doing anything else that's pointless, why don't you talk to someone who knows about tuning software? This is a very big and busy forum. I'd put money that it's hitting the limits of the hardware running it.

Interesting read!
Hope this fixes the load problem.
I, like someone before said, wish I could get rid of threads I have no longer interest in and have unsubscribed to.

I just noticed that the Pre-vets thread had a thread continuation link to a new thread, with the older one closed,,,I was wondering why this was done? I was signed off for the night when they did this.
I am OP of the thread and I didn't get a Pm or notification this was being done and was curious why, Thanks
