Remember when there was a slight delay between hitting 500 and the topic closing, and it was possible to get topics that went slightly over 500?

Actually, wasn't there one case where it somehow got well past 1000?


I remember mods could post in topics over 500 but if a user posted after a mod the topic would lock and mods wouldnt be able to post anymore. Or something like that.

That was due to the gamefaqs/gamespot merger. Topics made on Gamefaqs were always restricted to 500 posts, but topics on Gamespot weren't. So when an account that originated on Gamespot were to post, the topics could go on forever, but if an account that originated on Gamefaqs were to post in that same topic once it reached 500 then the gates would immediately slam shut behind him.

Used to be a pretty interesting way to troll some very popular discussions was to have someone with a gf account post and immediately have all discussion cease.
