Thibault, listen.

I think we are all still here to accept how to lose. My deepest of sympathies.

@Breeze_Bot @CalbernandHowbe @DaOneAndOnly @JMath @JohnLuke090904 @learningchesskid3 @mysterious_expert @pn2206 @voldemortv2 Ok yeah, I have asked the mods to close the million pages forum team as well. I did not know that even 1000 pages is a lot for lichess but now I do. There is no point in talking about this anymore - I don't want to entirely break the best chess site ever.

@SavageAntarctican Agreed, if this close the forum might mean that the forum is too much for lichess to handle.

I also wouldn’t want to break lichess

@SavageAntarctican I agree now. I would rather have Lichess than the million posts game.

@XXIstCentury plz be kind. Moderators make false.
Everytime you say " Moderators did right thing" blabla
I think moderators should mute you
I know, LICHESS IS THE BEST CHESS WEBSITE,but everybody can make mistakes.

@pn2206 Click F12 and go to the networking tab, and then load another page of this thread - you'll see between 4.8-5.6kb transferred. Now go find a really old thread and look at the number of views. Click into it, and then change page n times. Go look at the view count, it'll have changed by n. That is, each page view counts as a view - meaning that entire thread amounts to about 390.79 mb of data over a week, maybe add 5% for the captcha's

@JMath That would be 512 GB assuming it took 24 years for the forum to reach 1 million (oh god that's actually worrying).

Yeah I don’t even think there are 1,000,000 total pages on all of lichess yet 100,000.

Everyone, please stop begging the mods to re-open the forum! They closed it for a reason, whether it was size or spamming. (I vote spamming) The thread won't be re-opened, and I think we all should move on. It was fun while it lasted. I personally trust the Lichess mods to do what is right for the rest of us.

@Francis920 is right guys. It's done, closed, and just move on.
