Wow. I've never been a big participant here, but there was a time when I was able to keep up with 80% of the threads, now I'm about down to 1%. This place got HUGE. Watching the new threads wizz by is humbling. Bustling commerce and lots of creative energy. A 24 hour cyber city.

Speaking of "Top 500," do you think it may be time to extend the maximum number of "New Posts" displayed to over 500? I mean CPF has grown so popular that unless you sign in multiple times per day, "New Posts" regularly fails to show all threads updated since your last visit.
