Responding to Posts in Threads

[Terri4Trump]

I cannot find this in the rules, so maybe someone can help me out:
Is there a rule that says you cannot respond to posts in threads that have moved off ofpage 1 and onto page 2 or 3 or 4? What page number exactly is the border line for threads to be considered to be "dead"?

I guess a thread on page 100 or 200 could be considered dead? But what about page 3, or 4?

Just curious.

You can respond to any posts, any page. The only rules in place are those for that particular zone. Oh also, after 4 pages in any OP I start, you have to refer to me as Lord Mike.

I don't think there's any such rule. I cannot think of any way for such a rule to make any sense.

I wonder if you understand that the division of a thread into “pages” is not consistent from one user to another. Somewhere in your account settings, there's a parameter to set how many posts are displayed per page. I have mine set to display a hundred posts per page, which is the maximum. Looks like the minimum is twenty posts per page. What appears on the fourth page for someone set to twenty posts per page would still be on the first page for me.

I delete everything in a particular reply but the original person I'm responding to and that message. It makes it much more clear who and what I'm talking to/about.

Agreed....I don't know why anybody has the audacity to call me simply "Will" like they know me....Lord Will is preferable.

Sometimes a mod will decide to lock a thread. Often the mod will post the reason why at the end of the thread. Sometimes a mod will lock a thread for a sort time to clean the thread up.

Usually, it's 'good lord, mike', in utter amazement at your _______ (fill in the blank)

There is no page limit for a thread as far as I know.

Well, I can't say why I asked the question, but thanks for the answers.

Think the Sewer Rats who never venture out of that page are up to page 14,000 or something. I think they had one long one before.

Its weird in there, like a private little click.

Please sir, just don't start calling me "Lard Mike", at least not in public!

On my phone, I just highlight the text I'm responding to just like I did here.
