Suggestion to Limit Replies to Topics
This surely must have been suggested before on countless forums, but a forum should set a limit on replies to an orginal thread. As most realize, the threads inevitably "go off on a tangent" after the first or second page. Anyone wishing to extend the thread along new lines should just start a new thread! No one should be forced to read through three pages of replies to pick up on the gist of a topic.
Thank you

Why bother? Don't read through if you don't wish to do so.
I only browse through long threads and don't read them completely through.
And how many messages do you thing would be ok for the topic? Considering the fact that there are several thousands users on this forum and the possibility that they all may find it necessary to express themselves on some interesting topic you will get the longest thread ever.
I think that's a bad idea. A very bad idea.
