Why

Oh why is there a favourite topics limit of 50?

I mean, really, why not make it unlimited. Please. For the
love of god. the limit only serves to render the service
useless, with all the "spring-cleaning" it necessitates.

Seriously. At least for premium members, could you not make
it unlimited, Phobia?

why the hell do you need more than 50?

surely there aren't close to 50 topics in the whole history
of XLT that are worth saving!?

use bookmarks/favorites in your browser.. that's what I
do...

favourites show up in bold when they're bumped. it's handy.

seriously, can I get an answer on this? why is there a limit
of fifty?

it's probably something with the mysql-database.. for each
user, I'm guessing you need a separate table for favorite
topics (or something like that), so having an unlimited
amount of favorites would make the strain on the server
larger and the mysql database itself would also be
potentially infinitely larger...

however, if you're looking for an answer from phobs, naming
the topic "why" isn't a good strategy...

well, if that's the case, then it's an incredibly stupid db
setup.

one field, one list of message IDs seperated by commas,
parse the list, whammo.

well, yes, that's a possibility too.. I'm not really very
good at stuff like that, so I was just guessing.

great, thank you.

sorry for [slightly] soiling your New members thread.
Should've named this something more appropriate, as drunken
mastah said.
