We launch a new one at 300?

I thought it was 500. Shows what I know.

That's what I thought, too.

In spring training, we have to let our computers warm up before overloading them, I guess.

Are you gonna go to that cubs game

where they give away miller park south shirts and train tickets?

by tcyoung on Feb 25, 2009 3:57 PM CST up reply actions  

When is that?

All I’ve got so far are the Sept. 15th and 16th games down here. I do live in Wrigleyville, so heading up north then riding the train back down is kind of going out of the way a bit.

by MillerParkSouth on Feb 25, 2009 4:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Actually

I don’t know if we had a hard and fast rule, though I remember some overflows kicking in at 200 comments, quite some time ago. I vaguely recall people complaining about images not loading.

Anyway, we can keep it at 500 if you like.

Let's go with 500, for now

But for today, let’s keep it at 300. :-)

300 was the general rule on the old platform

don’t know that we ever established a guideline for the new platform.

but yeah, when there are lots of images, it starts loading slow after 200-250. That’s why the red reporter threads only last 200+. Some SBN sites go close to 1k and are fine.

Also, cheese.

Cool, Morlan's pitching. I'm excited to see what he's got.

Do you think Jim Powell used a Schneider truck when moving back to Atlanta?

I predict the second game of the season

It’s an away game, and Opening day, too many people will be watching with their friends.

No problem

We’ll just make the overflow thread cutoff at 50.

actually

some sites, including one that shall not be named, often goes to an overflow before the game starts. 2 hours is a lot of time to chatter before the first pitch.

This is going quickly

I think pitchers pace is faster when the games aren’t for keeps? Just a guess, but maybe it’s true

How hard is it?

Imagine you run a sports league where you have 4 months off every year. Do you think you could use those 4 months to give your website the capability to update more often than every 3 innings of a game?

They had the same problem last year, so they have actually had 12 months to apparently ignore this problem and hope it fixes itself. Did they hire Ned Yost as their tech guy and he thought he was being brought in for his taxidermy skills?
