ChatterBank suggestion
Re: ChatterBank
I have had a thought on how this might be able to work better without staying closed for too long.
If you limit the number of threads in existence at any one time, then this would help reduce the memory required by the site.
I think I never saw more than about 5 pages in any single day, so, if you limit the ChatterBank category to say 700 oustanding threads at any ome time, with the oldest just dropping out of existence when the newest is posted, then this would surely help somewhat, as this would give about 7 to 10 days of threads. People would get used to not being able to go back to really old threads quite easily I think.
I guess it's not just a memory thing, but this might be something to consider for the site as a whole for the future.

btw..I told Rhett Butler about your suggestion and he said...Frankleigh my dear, I don`t give a damn.
It wasn't intended as a snobbish comment at all, Elvis and on re-reading I accept I may not have phrased it as well as I should have. My daughters also enjoy the site, but I had to keep a close eye on them when they hovered around CB because it sometimes got a little too fruity in there for a 6 and 9 year old. That's why I wouldn't miss it.
Sorry, if I I upset you.
