"Post About the Poster Above You" is less than two hundred replies away from the 10,000th reply. I think that the 10,000th reply would be an appropriate time to lock it.

While it is true that PATPAY makes up a lot of the posting on this message board, it's really getting old. If you look in it today, it really is not a game anymore as much as a place where members can just chat about anything they wish. Because of the sheer number of posts, a lot of stuff that would normally be edited is missed. After all, it takes a long time to sort out all of the off-topicness there to find posts that need editing, and no one actually really wants to carefully read everything there.

My point is that I think PATPAY should be closed at 10,000 posts. In fact, I think it should have been closed much earlier, but 10,000 is a good and significant point to close it. With the new Word Association topic being started up, there are a lot of forum games in Misc. While I am sure that a new PATPAY will just be started right back up, having the original rest in peace at 10,000 would be nice. Also, I like the idea of having a limit on the number of posts in forum game topics in a certain amount of time.

In my opinion, Post About the Poster Above You has worn out its welcome and is now deteriorating into little more than an incomprehensible mess of senseless posts.
