Enough is enough.

I say we put a post limit and a time limit on them, and whichever is reached first, the thread then gets closed. That way, if the post limit is reached, you know people have said what they want to, and if the time limit is reached, they've said all they are going to say. This should eliminate the problems.

Just in case you missed it.

Well, I honestly don't think any type of post limit will ever be hit, so the time limit should be the only limiting factor. Even if a thread does get a lot of posts, that is better, so why limit it?

Hence the reason I didn't respond to it.

When I get my new hard drive in from Maxtor, I'd be willing to judge if needed. I won't be able to until either next week or the week thereafter though, reason being I simply don't have enough time to devote to it without having my own PC.

I'm in the lab upstairs now, but it's too inconvenient to come several times a day, as I usually do when I do have my computer running.

Anyhow, I'll try to be as active as I can until the time comes when... um.... when Fedex brings me my damn hard drive.

We have all three of our judges already, thanks though. If uncapped doesn't want it, I'm sure you'll get the job Bob.

Don't expect many posts per thread then. If I were you, I'd say to post 2 or 3 each week, and have them go on all week.

I actually really like this idea. I'm going to give it a shot and see if it increases activity at all. The next battle will be opened later tonight, and the following battle will be opened about two days from now. We'll test it for the preliminary matches, and then it will probably have to go back to normal once we hit the 2nd round.
