I really do understand the value of having the threads go to pages.
I'm just thinking that when new folks start coming to ATP they might be a little scared off when they see for ie. a welcome thread with 60 pages and 1000 replies. I know that it has stopped me personally from joining various website forums in the past, and even now.
Nobody's going to want to wade through all of that chat to introduce themselves...or pages and pages of information.

What I'm asking is can you maybe set a limit on how many pages before a new thread is started? Maybe 10 pages?

It would be far less daunting, down the road, for new people.
