So what do GNs think of Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestine as a state?

My house my rules applies to Gransnet management and to us its users. However there seems no advantage to Gransnet or its management in not explaining why this thread was closed.

Thread are always closed when they reach 2,000 posts.

1000?

If you'd cared to read the post immediately underneath the '2,000 post' error, before leaping in to nit pick, you'd have seen that I corrected it straight away.

But it's more fun to find fault, isn't it...

To be fair, I think RosieandherMaw's post crossed with your correction, MaizieD and I'm just slow ....

I watch DD typing at speed with her thumbs and think 😯

The moderator closed the thread because it reached Gransnet’s 1,000-post limit. Once a discussion hits this cap, it is automatically locked to maintain forum performance and encourage starting a fresh topic.

Matter of opinion ronib ☺️

This is turning into a thread about a thread - or a thread about two threads!

ronib Wed 13-Aug-25 11:39:32

Not quite as nasty as this Labour government…. AGAA4.

AGAA4 Wed 13-Aug-25 11:28:22

And it turned very nasty.

AGAA4 Wed 13-Aug-25 11:27:11

Indeed. Resurrect it if you like ronib but it's old news.

All that just passed me by, but I think I remember seeing her striding along Downing Street, in a rather surprising green trouser suit.

Of course any fun sponges won’t agree.

May have been fun but best left in the past. Caused problems for some posters and for the mods when some posts were printed in the papers. Not ones that reflected well.

Molly opened the thread on 31 st July and in 13 days 1000 posts closed it. Must be some sort of record.

Nope.
Angela Rayner's trouser suit thread reached 1000 in 4 days!

A new thread needs to be opened.

Yes you are right. Title is wrong for the discussion.

Caleo if you were about to post a comment when the thread reached it's limit please carry on.

1,000 I think. It closes automatically.

Once I'd typed out a post, it took me ages, but the thread had just closed before I got there!

That must have been annoying!
Sometimes there have been threads where posters had fun trying to take them to 1000 posts, whilst loosely sticking to the topic! 😁

"This discussion thread has reached a 1000 message limit, and so cannot accept new messages."

The management posted this, and either I dis nor see it or it has been appended later on. Sorry for making a fuss!

😁
