There is a maximum of 1000 users across your follow/friend/ignore/block/tag lists combined
I'm already over 3,000 tags. Which means I can't add anymore. And I also can't have any more friends, and I can never block or ignore anyone either. Not without completely gutting my tags and current friends lists.

Only when the system decides that they have no active posts. The only good thing about the update is it puts their status right next to their tag on the tag table. So I can delete the all -5s and -4s. But I have to go one by one.

So if they have a post in one of those long lived topics that could stay up for like another decade, they arent getting pruned.

I do. It is a negative tag. I dislike you.

I had to remove your tag over a year ago. It was a positive tag. I like you.

The old system had a maximum file size of something like 20mb. Which, for what is essentially a text file was very generous. And I filled that up some time ago. I would have to routinely scrap tags for a lot of people, and delete tags for banned/closed accounts.

I already can't tag, block, ignore, or friend anyone else right now.

There is a difference between the number of people currently on the boards, vs the number of accounts that exist. So those people that have dozens(or hundreds) of accounts open right now aren't using them all at once, but they still have the account. I have a number of alts tagged.

Unless you were just making a joke about the userbase of the site.

They can follow me, but I can't follow them back because I can't have anymore friends.

Oh, I'm sad to hear that. Any particular reason why? I like to joke around a bit, but I try not to be mean or negative. If there's a particular behavior that I should avoid in future, I would like to know.

I don't think Follow works that way either. It's your follow list, not the sucker your following.
It would be pretty terrible if "followed by" did eat up your thousand slots.

That seems to be the case thankfully. I am glad to be mistaken, but still the limit is stupid imo.

Yeah. Then those folks with way too many alts could lock people down
