WRT Judgement Day

I have decided to start this discussion thread, to see what everyone things about my descision of closing the World Record Thread. The thread itself is consuming a huge amount of bandwidth, and I'm really not that far from getting kicked off the server for being a resource hog.

The deal with the WRT was that everyone was allowed to "spam", as long as it had some kind of purpose. As the thread got closer to 10.000 replies, I had to issue my first warning to some users for abusing their privileges, after they had covered a few pages with completely useless posts using an automatic spammer bot.

After issuing four warnings (the last one was to someone who recently covered 16 pages of the post on his own with things like "uifsegh"), I gave everyone a serious warning about the post, and told everyone strictly not to spam, or I would close the thread.

However, that did not work, so thanks to one user (I'm not mentioning any names), I really got mad and decided to close the thread.

However, I would like you to discuss all of this. There is a possibility that I might decide to reopen the thread if you can come up with a better idea for it. Making such a large post become lost and forgotten isn't that good, and it did boost Zelaron's activity, but there is NO way I will let it be open if people ravage the little bandwidth we have. Oh, and by the way, the PayPal support hasn't worked too well, and as long as I have to pay for the whole site out of my own pocket, I reserve the rights for myself to do whatever I want to do.
I know it might sound a little harsh, but that's the truth.
