The character limit is 100,000 iirc. I've hit a few times in the past editing my shop haha.
Is Black 2 one of the "older" styles? :P Finally found it in Altomare's Light, but I prefer the Black 2 theme. :D <-- (Hey, there's no grin?)There are a few older styles it won't show up on quite yet, though (might just be vBulletin Default that it won't show up on).
Well, can I just find them for you and link them to you whichever one I might find. It's just a little bit annoying when you have this one great question in mind and googled it and the first result was on Pokecommunity but all replies says that "This is on the wrong section, lock... This is so month old, lock... Blah-blah". But seriously now, can I do that for you?Well first of all, this idea would only work if we had deleted all threads like this from the beginning, we aren't going to go back and find every single thread that is like this. That would take too long unless Audy had some miracle tool to help out. In addition, I'd assume that the server has been overloaded the past few weeks due to high amounts of guests coming in at the same time, not because the threads that are near empty.
That won't speed up the database. They'd be soft-deleted, which means you can't see them but they're still stored on the server.
I think part of the reason they're left there is so the person who broke the rule can see it - when posts are deleted, you can see that they're deleted, but if we delete a thread because someone bumped it then the person that bumped it can't see that they broke a rule and most of the time we don't want to warn/infract for something so small. It's really up to the mod of the section - I'm not comfortable with having dozens of deleted threads in my section just because someone thinks it doesn't look clean enough. I don't want to delete things unless there's a very good reason to do so. So if you wanted to "clean up" a section, you'd have to ask the mod of that individual section if it's something they're willing to do - mods can't delete threads outside of their own section, and higher staff generally leave the upkeep of the sections to their respective moderators.
tl;dr: it's up the mod's discretion as to why they won't, if you want threads deleted ask them personally. :)
