So... who was the last poster? Did they "win"? LOL

It was me... wasn't in it for the prize, though. Just wanted to get it to 10k.

Not really. I think in the last week, I only averaged two or three timeouts per day. I only ever used the quick reply two or three times.

Perhaps because it murders the DB?

i'm pretty sure this is it

i tried to load the last page a few minutes ago and timed out both times

I gotta say I can't quite understand why it does that, either. It shouldn't need to scan the entire thread to retrieve the last posts. I'd be curious to see the query that's used, but I doubt that will happen

Pure speculation at this point, they didn't even deign to leave a mod comment.

Perhaps the reason it was locked was because a few people were going overboard with post upon post upon post within minutes of each other

(ahem, nakedfrog)

Out of curiosity, I'm going to dig back and see if I can figure out just when I started my quest in this thread.

Yeah that's a little odd to not give a reason, almost insulting. :Q But I hated the thing so I'm not insulted.

Aww, that thread was great. It actually was the longest thread ever. I think that's why it was locked. Unlock it and let the posts go to 10000!

About time Good riddance...must've been a sweet sound to click the lock button.

I think some one PM'ed the mod to ask it to be locked..

It took me about a minute to open it, I was just about to give up. The last post wasn't even inflammatory
