What Is The Record Number Of Answers In Any News Item Thread?

[anotheoldgit]

I recently started a thread which reached the dizzy heights of 727 answers before it was closed down for some reason.

Does anyone know what is the record number of answers in a News section thread and what news item did it concern?

there used to be Harry Potter threads that went well into four figures but I don't know if they were in News.

Thanks for that Andy, but regarding the closure of the thread, you could be right but on the other hand providing no rules are broken, I can't see why a thread needs to be closed while enough ABers find it interesting enough to continue contributing to it, after all what real harm is done? //

You're welcome.

Personally, I think that all threads have a natural life, and when people are finished, they simply stop receiving posts, and that's that.

The closure of threads is a matter of an individual Moderator, or the Editorial Team, and with the exception of the Editorial Team of course, Moderators don't know who has closed any thread, or why.

As a matter of interest PP, that "lady" was on several forums....both as herself, as her estranged husband and as her father in law..."she" was also on a dating forum as her estranged husband....same story, same user name but told from the angle of the various participants. What a struggle it must have been to keep straight in "her" head who she was where.....

I think Rowan should start another BDSM thread, that got everyone riled up and posting. I could sell popcorn :)

You are very naughty ;-)

Moi, Mamy? If I was very naughty I'd troll the bejaysus out of them and start one myself :) x

I know this doesn't answer your question, but there's a chatterbank thread that is over 13000, and still going.

Think if you take an average, mean or median then this one wins WBM early in the morning
