But you never know unless you try ...
It seems the 'don't count new posts' has been retroactively applied by the software, which wasn't intentional and will be reversed. It also seems that the switch to count posts cannot be applied to future posts only, so I've switched it back on.
The main aim in moving the threads was to give more room to general / daily new Cafe threads; I agree that the large threads are part of the CC community, but they are also specific to small number of regulars who post in them.
The threads are just as easy to find as before; you still get alerts; you still see them in the New Posts results - so you shouldn't have any trouble using them just the same way you always have, but if it doesn't work out I'll put them back.
Let's give it a week or so and see how it works out.
Cheers,
Shaun

Oh, well - fame was nice while it lasted!Ha ha - I have lost about 700 from my post count, but clearly some even more Mundane Tea? posters have lost a lot more because I have leapfrogged them up into the top 20!

Maybe, I'm the machine that cuts the post counts in the first place!!You notice everything on CC
Quick suggestion, the title "Big threads" doesn't seem very inviting to new visitors, and the reason some of these threads have survived so long is an influx of new blood happy to join in. So coming from the view that Marketing is everything, how about naming it "Games and Continuing Topics" or such, at least newbies and casual visitors will understand what awaits them.
